biography

Manuel Siurot Rodriguez was the son of José Siurot Ruiz and Lutgarda Rodríguez Caro. In 1881, when he was nine years old, his family moved from La Palma del Condado to Gibraleón and in 1887 finally to Huelva , which at that time had less than 20,000 inhabitants. Here he graduated from school with the best grade at the age of 19.

In 1892 Siurot enrolled in law at the University of Seville . After three semesters he moved to Huelva, where he graduated with the best grade. He married Manuela Mora Claros in 1901, with whom he had a daughter, Antonia. He practiced his profession as a lawyer in Huelva for more than ten years until he devoted himself to the education of poor children in early 1908. He worked with the Escuelas del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús , founded by the priest Manuel González García .

From 1916, after González García went to Málaga , Siurot took over all responsibility for the escuelas, which he continued to run until his death. In 1919 he founded the free boarding school for teachers, which trained penniless young people in the teaching profession until 1934. They received extensive education that helped improve overall school teaching.

Manuel Siurot was also a lawyer, judge, neutral member of the National Assembly from 1927 , ambassador extraordinary in Hispanic-American affairs and writer and journalist who published numerous articles in the times of day of Seville, Huelva and other places. In 1926 he received the Premio Mariano de Cavia for his article El triunfo de las carabelas .

The grave of Manuel Siurot is in the baptistery of the parish church of La Palma del Condado.

Streets named after him can be found in La Palma del Condado, Seville, Huelva, Isla Cristina and other localities in the region. Several schools in the provinces of Huelva and Seville bear his name.
