The Zubians are taught about the medicinal plants in their municipality by a workshop

Learn about the medicinal plants found in La Zubia as well as the health benefits of the concoctions you can make with them. This was the goal of the workshop "Wise Women, Wizards and Witches", which was organized by the Zubiense City Council Department of Equality. More than 30 residents of all ages participated.

Participants were accompanied by a specialist in medicinal plants and took an excursion through the town to collect the various plants while the teacher explained the process. They attended a talk by the teacher in the "Caseta de Corvales" later.

Rebeca Sanchez, Councilor for Health and Equality of La Zubia thanked the monitors Basi and Julio and the Department of Equality of the Diputacion de Granada, co-organizer of the workshop, for connecting us with our history and nature through of wild plants with the intention of discovering traditional uses in general: culinary and healing, ethnobotanical for dyeing, or magical."

The mayor reminded us that the history of humanity we've been told was not complete. It appears to be full of notable men for their wisdom, discoveries, and women. They have not been here. They are quite the contrary. History is filled with wise women who worked as scientists, doctors, astronomers, alchemists, and scientists. Sometimes they knew they were doing it, other times they didn't, but all of them had the knowledge. Her talent, her contribution towards the evolution of humanity, and her contributions are now invisible

Puri Lopez, the mayor of La Zubia who participated in the workshop, stressed the importance of making these women's work visible and organizing activities such as this one that promote equality between men, women, and improve our quality of living.
