Tertulia de Nava

The tertulia de Nava was a Spanish Enlightenment intellectual circle in San Cristóbal de la Laguna that regularly met at Nava Palace [es].

[1] From its creation by Tomás de Nava-Grimón y Porlier to its heyday under his son Alonso de Nava y Grimón [es],[2] the union brought together grand personalities from Tenerife and the rest of the Canary Islands,[3] such as Fernando de la Guerra y del Hoyo-Solórzano,[4] Fernando de Molina y Quesada, Lope Antonio de la Guerra y Peña, Juan Antonio de Urtusáustegui, José de Llarena y Mesa, Agustín de Betancourt, and others.

[5] José de Viera y Clavijo was the major promoter and architect of the tertulia as he was integral to the culture of the Canary Islands [es] during the 18th century.
