David Garrido Guil - 'Antonio Guerrero' School Anthem of Aljaraque (Huelva)(English subtitles)

Lyrics & music: David Garrido Guil. This hymn, dedicated to Aljaraque; It is a tribute to the magical years of childhood and the always delicate figure of the primary schools of the towns; landscapes in which students experience the wonderful sensation of shared knowledge. The lyrics describe distinctive elements of childhood at the 'Antonio Guerrero' School in the town of Aljaraque, in the Andalusian province of Huelva; although perhaps they could connect with other places. The magical years, always delicate and intense, are part of the identity of the people.
