The Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha is bringing the exhibition 50 años de democracia compartida: Mujeres y transición en Castilla-La Mancha on 3 to 9 November 2026 to the Centro Cultural San Francisco in Cifuentes (Guadalajara province). The regional government is continuing its anniversary programme, 50 años Juntos which marks the 50 years since the beginning of Spain’s Transition.
According to the organisers, the exhibition highlights women’s diverse contributions to the region’s democratisation. On 20 panels historical photographs, documents and first-hand accounts are on display. Topics include involvement in feminist movements, trade unions, neighbourhood and professional associations, and the first democratic institutions. Particular emphasis is placed on experiences in rural areas of Guadalajara province.
Among the local references cited by the regional government are the Asociación Independiente de Mujeres Alcarreñas founded in 1977, and leading figures such as Juana Quílez Martí and Teresa Brutón Viejo. According to the official account, the exhibition aims to bring local collections of memories and documents to public attention and to return women’s contributions from different areas of society to public debate.
The Cifuentes stop follows an exhibition in Sigüenza, where the exhibition is on display until 2 November, according to the authorities. The 50 años Juntos programme includes more than 500 activities across all five provinces of Castilla-La Mancha and is scheduled to run from September 2026 to April 2027. Its aim is to anchor commemorative work in the region and include smaller municipalities in the official anniversary narrative.
According to the information provided, the project is supported by the academic expertise of Ángel Ramón del Valle Calzado of the University of Castilla-La Mancha. The statement does not provide specific organisational details about opening hours, admission or possible accompanying events for schools.
The announcement was made on 30 October 2026. The exhibition’s dates in Cifuentes (3 to 9 November 2026) and its size (20 panels) are specified; further details are promised by the organisers or remain subject to updates from municipal cultural offices.
