Luis Morote

His name is normalised as Luis Morote y Creus; he was a lawyer, deputy, writer, journalist, politician and reformist. He was born in Valencia in 1862. He died in Madrid in 1913.

His intellectual activity unfolded within Spanish journalistic and literary networks, reflected in preserved works and correspondence. That trajectory explains his presence in public debates of the early twentieth century without making him a Canary-born figure.

Morote's Canarian link comes from his political and public activity related to Las Palmas. Through this connection, Morote belongs to the peninsular and island networks that took part in the parliamentary, journalistic and reformist life of Spain during his time.
