cultural-heritage · 2026-06-10

The seventh episode of the podcast 'La memoria en ruinas' investigates whether young people are genuinely turning their backs on cultural heritage. Journalists Andrea Morán and José María Sadia challenge this common assumption by seeking real examples that disprove it. They highlight Gabriel García, who recreates Spanish monuments in Minecraft, and visit a ruined hermitage in Badajoz province, Extremadura, guided by historian José Luis Díaz. Díaz shares his project 'Arte en ruinas,' discussing what youth can do for heritage and the opportunities it presents.
