Tertulia Literaria Brontosailors in Madrid

In the heart of Madrid, the Biblioteca Pública Municipal Mario Vargas Llosa hosts a literary gathering organized by Brontosailors, an association of former sailing instructors from the Centro Internacional de Navegación de Arousa. The group, created for those who aged out of teaching sailing, channels their maritime passion into cultural activities, and this tertulia is one of them.

At this session, attendees will discuss Pío Baroja's 'Los pilotos de Altura', a novel that follows a ruthless sailor engaged in the slave trade. The book vividly portrays perilous voyages to Africa, shipwrecks, disease, storms, mutinies, and pirate attacks, offering a gripping narrative that promises rich conversation.

The event takes place in the Sala de Cristal, a fitting setting for a discussion steeped in nautical adventure.
