Carmen Rodríguez Parra

Carmen Rodríguez Parra, known as Madre Carmela, was a significant figure in the anarchist movement in Granada during the Spanish Civil War. Born in 1884, she ran a popular tavern that became a meeting point for local activists and was known for her generosity towards those in need. Detained and executed by fascist forces in 1936, her remains were recently identified and returned to her family after decades in a mass grave, marking an important moment in the ongoing struggle for historical memory in Spain.
