My dad's dad is born in a small city called Valencia in Spain, 1927, but they don't stay long because his parents are doing diplomat work of sorts.

After the short living in Valencia, their entire family moves to another coastal city of Spain, and not until my grandpa turns 8 do they move to Tangier, a city which at the time is independent of any countries ownership.

My dad's dad then stays there for years as his dad has settled down to work there permanently. After several years, my grandpa finds the love of his life and decides to start a family, comprised of 4 siblings. They live their life out there for years and years on end.

Tangier now officially becomes a part of morocco, which means they will try to take the most out of international businesses which do not belong there. This causes my grandpa's family to decide to flee to Spain, but before they do that, my dad's dad has business to do, which involves staying in Tangier for some time, leaving the rest of his family.

# data[].attributes.body
Its getting hairy in Tangier, or now Morocco, but my grandpa is done with salvaging what he can from the bank he works from. This is his time to escape, which he does by walking across the entire city, escaping by crawling under the border, which is of course illegal, and running off to Spain, where he can't be harmed since he is a legal citizen.

My dad's dad is welcomed back to Spain with open arms by his family and co-workers, which all congratulate him for making it out alive, and he is given a fresh start, with a bonus for helping the bank, in Madrid, where he gives birth to one more child, better known as my dad. He lives on to be 95, almost 96 years old, and tells the tale like he had lived it yesterday, remembering the economic success he and his family had, and living in a place he is happy to call home.

My dad was born in Madrid, Spain, 1969. He never moved to anywhere really interesting, since his dad was very stationary with work and never needed to transfer after what he did in Tangier. He lived as normal as a school life could be, fighting for grades, stressing out over homework, etc. It wasn't until college where he had gotten an internship at a bank where things were more interesting.

Beautiful, kind, humble and smart mom. They were introduced while they both had a job, coincidentally both at a bank. After only 6 months of dating on a trip they took to the grand canyon. They got married and had 2 kids, twins, born in Madrid after the trip. But here they had to make a hard decision, since my dad had gotten a better job offer over in Chile, and my mom had to decide to leave the life she'd created in Spain for her husband and her children, or do leave her husband and her children for the life she had created in Spain.

A first person look at the life of my grandfather through the struggles of politics and economics.

# data[].attributes.body
My mom's dad was born in Talavera de la Reina, Spain, 1934, would stay there the rest of his childhood, except the living would be as easy as he'd thought, since his dad was a pretty renowned author/poet from a group called generation 27', and situated himself in a political party that was the regimen that applied in that moment in the civil war. At only 4 years old, his father got executed for his writing and beliefs, and his mother got sent to jail for any possible ties to this political party because of her husband. This started the tough life he'd have to start at an orphanage.

Grandpa finds his love for studying and learning new things, which he uses to find higher education and finishes his academic career path at the young age of 15 years old. This is when his mother is let out of jail after the civil war is over and finds a job in Madrid at a perfume shop.

After moving to Madrid at a young adult age, My moms dad has to wait for him to be old enough to work, and when he does, his studies pay off, earning him a high position in a Spanish bank. The move for greater opportunities was worth it, as their family is now making 100x the money they were making before (they weren't making any money), and have earned higher living standards as a result of all the work they are doing.

# data[].attributes.body
As life moved on for him, he found a lovely women at the same bank he worked at which he decided to date for a couple years, and they obviously fell in love with each other because they go married, started a family and had 4 kids, one of them being my mom, and they stayed in Spain for the majority of their lives.

My mom is born into the world, and her dad shortly after leaves her, well, not really. He finds a better job opportunity in Paris, France, where their economic state would be better and more flexible to wants and needs. For 3 years they spent the week days without their dad and the weekends with him, which was better than nothing. The movement was a success overall, because the children still got to see their dad, the state the family was in was more separated, but a lot more economically stable, and the dad was able to live somewhere where everything was different, expanding horizons for his children and their cultural knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
Nothing interesting happens during mom's school years, but after her academic career, she starts working at a bank, and at around 30 years old, she finds dad who is friends with the husband of one of moms friends. They stayed in a friend group of sorts for years before mom and dad decided to go out on dates and start having a relationship. After 6 months into this relationship, they decide to go out on a roadtrip to the west of the U.S. where they went to look at multiple staples like the grand canyon. This is where dad took his chance, and asked my mom for her hand in marriage. which she said yes to.

# data[].attributes.body
After going back to Madrid and having their wedding, they have what was supposed to be 1 kid, but instead ended up being twins. After Pablo and Ale (the twins) made it to 2 years of age, dad gets a job offer, and they have to decide what to do. Stay in Spain? Or move to Chile.

So they decided to take a leap of faith and seek adventure and growth as a family and as individuals.

First hand look at my mothers bloodline and her movement along Spain, very beginning and end are in English, the rest is in Spanish.

Sloppy translation/summary:

I mean, the point of this is to try to find out more about, I mean, my grandfather or your father and in relation to how they moved from place to place and how that move affected him and all that. I think that the first thing I want to start with is where, or in what area do I imagine they are in Spain, but in what area of ​​Spain was my grandfather or your father born?

Your grandfather, my father Jorge, was born in Talavera de la Reina, it is a city in Spain, a small city, now not so much it has become much bigger but now, before it was very small. So he was born there and he was the son of Ernesto López Parra, he was from a middle-class family, let's call it that, he studied law and worked on political issues and was also a writer. He was a writer from the generation of '27, so he was a very political person and he wrote things that in the regime that existed at that time, which was during the civil war, he was against, so they imprisoned him several times, he went from one prison to another. others for what he wrote and for what he expressed until he was locked up in one of the prisons in Talavera de la Reina and then they sentenced him to life imprisonment and there he died. Then my grandmother was also imprisoned for being this man's wife and then while she was in prison my father and his brother were transferred to an orphanage.

Until the Spanish Civil War ended, my grandmother was able to get out of prison and they moved to Madrid because my grandmother wanted to work and raise the children, so my grandmother worked in a perfumery. My dad, when he was 16, didn't have much money either; they were a fairly humble family, so he found a job in a Spanish bank.

Would you say that Talavera Reina's move to Madrid was a success? It was to get ahead, it was to have a better life, because my grandmother had to raise her children and she had to feed them and she had to and because the civil war was over, many people moved from one place to another to where they were living. In other words, it got worse, so there was much more work and opportunities. Do you think they were happier there in Madrid? Of course, because one was with one's mother and in the end they were still children, so the situation, being children, is that sometimes you don't see so much evil or bad situations in the end, well, they went to Madrid and there they lived happily, yes, it was to reunite with his mother and that is, and for economic reasons and because it was a better city, it was the capital. Well yes, and grandfather found grandmother in Madrid, they worked in the same bank, there they met, they got married, there they met, they had 4 children. Your grandfather lived in Paris for three years for work, but my mother didn't want to move from Madrid because she had her job and well, and then they moved away, my father came every weekend to see us. to improve the quality of life and there and that, I mean, that is another movement made for the better. one's search is economic, to grow work, to grow the family.

After some 30 years you found my dad through a group of friends that you were in. There we all went out together and after 6 months of dating and getting to know each other, we decided to go on a trip to the east coast of the United States, so we started going around, we had a great time and one of the wonderful places we went to and visited was the Colorado Canyon. . Well, there we were one afternoon watching a wonderful and beautiful sunset and there dad asked me to marry him. I accepted and it took us about 6 months to prepare the wedding, everything there requires a wedding. Well, there we got married and Pablo and Ale were born in Madrid. I had my job, Dad had his until one day Dad came to me and told me that well, they had offered his job and were offering how to go out to live and work outside of Madrid. Spain and well, we saw it as a great opportunity because in the end you have to leave your families, you have to leave your friends. In my case, I had to leave work because it was the move that Dad made, but the move was worth it, both professionally for him and, well, for me. We did it to find a better life for you and to try something new that could help us in the future. There we moved to Chile where you were born, and 2 months after your birth they asked us to move again, this time to the United States, and we would have to wait a little until you were old enough to travel. We did this move more to improve the quality of life, which in that case was a little worse but we did it for you again and so that you could see what it is like to move to another place.

All the movements in my opinion were successes, because with them they brought new opportunities to improve oneself and the entire family, in the form of quality of life, or joy, and also money, and all of that allowed us to raise 4 children whom I love and want the best for them.

I've put a lot of thought into each aspect of this project, like when I chose family members to talk about and interview. I took 2 days of the process to decide what I wanted to do, because I was interested in making it engaging and action packed. I figured that I could do my dads side of the family, since I remember a good story that he used to tell me and my siblings when we were younger, which I included in the timeline of events. Later on in the process, when I figured that I'd had enough with my dad's side, I went back to the drawing board. My mom had already been very interested in the project, and wanted to help all she could, so I decided to include her in the process of my timeline.

I had to interview both my parents, and not my grandparents, since in the end, they are old, and its mean to reming an old person of their memory loss, and bring them back to times they might not want to look back upon. My parents had heard the same story again and again from their parents, so retelling it to me was easier than I thought. For this documentation, I wanted to choose a Padlet with a timeline and the interview at the end because I had used it many times before, and everyone had a good time using it, since it allowed for easy visuals and for better chronological order.

When I went into this project, I didn't expect to do much, but I started to get more and more invested into my families history. I understand now that moving is more than just wanting a better job or more money, its about taking risks that may not pay off, or might change your life, humans move in search for a better aspect in every part in their life. It's interesting to take a moment to talk to what your parents parents did for a living, because you really get to realize the change that the world and humanity has gone through in the last century, like transport, advances in technology, etc. We can see the difference when we compare the movement of my grandparents, where my grandpa had to travel by foot across his country, while I was sitting comfortably in business class, sleeping knowing I'm making it to my. The empathy you build for what others have gone through when you listen to an in depth story of their journey is like none other, and can only truly be explained if you encounter this opportunity yourself. How much you learn about your bloodline is only limited by how much you want to know and learn, and how much you're family wants you to learn. Luckily, my parents were very open about their history, and wanted me to know up to the smallest detail of suffering and change my grandparents went through in their childhood, and now I get to share it and let people learn about what its like to have a moving family.

Ernesto López-Parra ( Talavera de la Reina, Toledo, 17 de abril de 1895- Ocaña, Toledo, 18 de marzo de 1941) fue un poeta y periodista español.

Nació en una familia de clase media; estudió Derecho y trabajó como funcionario en el Ministerio de Trabajo. Según apuntó en un pleno del ayuntamiento, fue procesado en veintiuna ocasiones por sus manifestaciones en contra de la dictadura de Miguel Primo de Rivera. En las elecciones municipales de abril de 1931 fue elegido concejal en el Ayuntamiento de Talavera de la Reina en las listas del Partido Radical-Socialista; seguía así la estela de su padre, Eduardo López-Parra Gómez, que también había sido concejal republicano entre 1883 y 1888.

Escribió a lo largo de su vida cuatro libros. El primero, en la estela del modernismo, se tituló Poemas del Bien y del Mal (1920).El siguiente es una obra de teatro en verso titulada Paisaje de abanico (1921). En 1929 publica La imagen iluminada, libro misceláneo que recoge su poesía de los años veinte. Finalmente, en 1936 aparece Auroras rojas, volumen de corte social, muy influido por la revolución minera asturiana.

A comienzos de los años veinte militó en el ultraísmo, y participó activamente en la tertulia que Cansinos-Assens lideraba en el café Colonial de Madrid, así como en las veladas de Parisiana y el Ateneo. Escribió en las principales revistas ultraístas: (Oviedo), (Madrid), Gran Guignol (Sevilla), (Madrid), (Madrid-Sevilla), etc.

La radicalización de la vida política que se produjo tras el golpe de Estado del 18 de julio de 1936 le llevó a alistarse, en agosto de ese año, en las milicias cívicas de Izquierda Republicana. Colaboró con el poema Traición y muerte del señorito Cañero​ en la revista El Mono Azul que dirigió Rafael Alberti. Ese poema se recogió posteriormente en el Romancero General de Emilio Prados y Antonio Rodríguez Moñino.​ Mantuvo una polémica literaria con Gerardo Diego por los actos de homenaje que los hombres del 27 rindieron a Góngora. Todo surgió a raíz de una falsa entrevista a Gerardo Diego que Ernesto Giménez Caballero publicó en las páginas de . Ernesto López-Parra se hizo eco de ella en y Gerardo Diego contraatacó posteriormente desde las páginas de su revista Lola.​

Al acabar la guerra, al no poder huir de España, fue apresado y condenado a muerte, pena que luego se le conmutó por la de cadena perpetua. Acusado de rebelión militar fue encarcelado en el penal de Ocaña, donde murió de tuberculosis.​ Estuvo casado con María Calvo, también talaverana, de cuyo matrimonio nacieron dos hijos, Eduardo y Ernesto.

Ernesto López-Parra - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre Ernesto López-Parra ( Talavera de la Reina, Toledo, 17 de abril de 1895- Ocaña, Toledo, 18 de marzo de 1941) fue un poeta y periodista español. Nació en una familia de clase media; estudió Derecho y trabajó como funcionario en el Ministerio de Trabajo.

No cabe duda de que Pablo Rojas, que ha dedicado un volumen a la figura de Ernesto López-Parra y editado a Guillermo de Torre, conoce bien la literatura de los años veinte, pero tampoco a mi entender caben muchas dudas de que Imágenes iluminadas no contribuirá como debiera al rescate del desconocido poeta.

Escritores olvidados hay muchos, que merezcan salir de ese olvido bastantes menos. Ernesto López-Parra lo merece: ha escrito un puñado de poemas memorables. Pero Pablo Rojas nos los ofrece entremezclados con versos de adolescencia o de ocasión, con apolillada retórica modernista o con imitaciones del Romancero gitano.

¿Quién fue Ernesto López-Parra? Fue un coetáneo de la generación del 27 (nació en 1895) que participó en el ultraísmo, aunque sin tomársela demasiado en serio. En La novela de un literato cuenta Cansinos Assens que, en la velada ultraísta celebrada en la Parisiana en 1920, leyó unos versos de corte rubeniano que fueron los que más gustaron y que serían ovacionados al grito de "¡Esto es otra cosa..., esos son versos..., fuera los ultraístas!"

A Ernesto López-Parra, a pesar de que colaboró en todas las revistas del movimiento, acabaron expulsándole del mismo. Póstumamente, sin embargo, sus versos solo han aparecido en alguna antología del ultraísmo.

Ernesto López-Parra era un republicano que se fue radicalizando durante los años treinta. En las memorias de Cansinos Assens, muestra su desengaño: "¡Esta es una República de monárquicos y cavernícolas! --grita en el café Ernesto López-Parra, el poeta toledano, tránsfuga del Ultra, hijo de un padre republicano y masón, al que los neos le hacen la vida imposible en su ciudad--. ¿Querrán ustedes creer que la otra noche, en Toledo, los guardias nos mandaron callar a mí y a unos amigos míos porque estábamos cantando La Marsellesa?"

Su apoyo a la revolución del 34 le llevó a la cárcel. Tras la guerra civil sería condenado a muerte. En 1941 murió, enfermo de tuberculosis, en el penal de Ocaña. Había publicado tres libros: Poemas del Bien y del Mal (1920), La imagen iluminada (1929) y Auroras rojas (1936).

En su antología, Pablo Rojas entremezcla poemas de esos tres libros con otros aparecidos solo en revistas y los divide en cuatro partes. Les añade otras dos secciones de textos inéditos: "Friso español" y "Carcelera".

Comienza la antología con un poema inédito que el padre del poeta, amigo de Galdós, le envío al novelista en 1916 para que le dijera si su hijo tenía o no talento. Se trata de un ejemplo de manida retórica modernista ("Diabólico mundano Don Carnal piruetea... / Pierrot y Colombina lloran junto a Arlequín...), que no anima mucho a seguir leyendo y que quizá podría incluirse como curiosidad en un apéndice.

No es el único caso de desafortunado rescate. En "Poesía iluminada", la segunda parte de la antología, tras una selección muy desigual del libro Imágenes iluminadas, se incluyen dos sonetos de ocasión escritos para la reina de las fiestas de Talavera de la Reina en 1929 y publicados en un periódico local.

Una de las secciones inéditas, "Friso español", se dedica a cantar -muy tópicamente- las regiones españolas y parece escrito en la cárcel para participar en algún concurso -quizá propiciado por la revista Redención- o para congraciarse con las nuevas autoridades (puede compararse el poema dedicado a Asturias en esta serie con los que se le dedican en Auroras rojas, donde por cierto se habla del puerto gijonés "del Museo", en lugar de "del Musel").

En la sección última, "Carcelera", se encuentran algunos de los más conmovedores poemas del volumen, los que nos demuestran que López-Parra era algo más que un epígono del modernismo o un tránsfuga ultraísta: algunos sonetos ("¡No le llores mujer!", "Odio a la plebe de carroña inmunda", "Ese alerta"); algún romance "El reloj cuenta en la cárcel..."); la repulsa de "El nuevo Cristo", el Cristo de los vencedores: "Este Dios, lleva oculto en las espinas / de la corona cruel de su martirio / los dos cuernos del Diablo, y en sus ojos, / de Luzbel el dramático estrabismo". Destaca también "No puedo más", donde el poeta sueña con el suicidio.

Pero estos poemas confesionales e inolvidables, Pablo Rojas ha tenido a bien entremezclarlos con otros, como "El alarife del rey" que no pasan de ejercicios de trasnochada retórica (quizá se conservaran en las mismas carpetas y fueran escritos también en la cárcel, pero el antólogo debería haber sabido discriminar).

Aunque haya en ella un puñado de poemas verdaderos, están tan entremezclados con otros sin interés, que dudosamente este antología rescatará del olvido a Ernesto López-Parra, un poeta sin duda menor, pero también verdadero en sus varios tonos: el de la machadiana denuncia de la Castilla tradicional, "tedio, pereza y fanatismo"; el posmodernista a lo Fernando Fortún o Andrés González-Blanco ( "Yo adoro a esos humildes poetas que soñaron, / tal vez, con los inciertos laureles de la gloria"); el que jugó con la nueva estética vanguardista ("Nocturno de la ciudad", "Casa vacía"), incluso el de la ingeniosa "Novela en los ojos", que algo tiene de renovada dolora campoamoriana, para terminar con la media docena de poemas carcelarios que le dan un lugar de honor en cualquier selección sobre el tema.
