Aranda de Duero y la Ribera del Duero, El Soportal (1066 words)
Recordamos a los miembros de la corporación municipal de Aranda de 1936, los representantes del pueblo, elegidos democráticamente por los arandinos y que fueron fusilados por los fascistas.
En dicho vídeo vemos cómo dentro de la Ermita de la Virgen de las Viñas, delante del altar, se realiza una actuación de Raperos, seguida de aplausos y jaleos de los presentes, como si fuese una sala de fiestas en vez de un lugar de culto, donde se encuentra la patrona de los Arandinos.
