Recreation Of The Civil War 2026

Founded in 2011, Grupo Frente del Nalón is a prominent Asturian historical and cultural association dedicated to researching, reenacting, and preserving the history of the Spanish Civil War, the 1934 Revolution, and the Second Spanish Republic. The organization stands out for its high level of historical rigor and commitment to educational outreach, aiming to keep regional memory alive by faithfully portraying both the social and military daily life of the 1930s. Their main activities revolve around organizing and participating in immersive historical reenactments, most notably the annual "Candamo 3637" historical sessions and collaborative educational events with institutions such as the University of Oviedo. To achieve maximum authenticity, group members utilize period-accurate attire crafted from original patterns, as well as genuine historical items or faithful reproductions of equipment, weaponry, and everyday objects from the era. Beyond live reenactments, the association actively contributes to historical dissemination through collaborations on audiovisual productions, public lectures, and curated cultural exhibitions focused on 20th-century Asturian history. In support of our collaboration and volunteer efforts, the local Town Hall of Grullos (Candamo) generously provides and grants us the use of their local public facilities to accommodate our international volunteer team during the project.
