Luis Morote

The Real Academia de la Historia normalises his name as Luis Morote y Creus and presents him as 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, also documented by the Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes through works and correspondence. That trajectory explains his presence in public debates of the early twentieth century without making him a Canary-born figure.

The Canarian link in this profile must be stated precisely: Morote is connected with the Canary Islands through political and public activity related to Las Palmas, not through birthplace. Claims that presented him as a journalist from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and broad assessments about autonomy, transparency or modern Canarian identity have therefore been removed unless a specific source supports them.
