Continuing the work of recovery and honors the memory of Blas de Lezo, we have now proposed that this marine legend has a street in the Spanish capital, Madrid.
I have therefore prepared a collection of signatures both on paper and online under this request:
"We ask the Hon. Madrid city council allocation by the name of "Blas de Lezo" one of the vials or places of the city of Madrid.
Blas de Lezo and Olavarrieta born in Passages (Guipuzcoa) on February 3, 1689, was a Spanish admiral who for 40 years participated in 22 fights which always emerged victorious despite suffering horrific mutilations as promptly became tuerto, lame and manco . Its pattern of life is impressive, enormously large and unknown to the majority of Madrid, but stressed about, being a legend for the whole of Europe, the defense of Cartagena de Indias in 1741. In this episode, which finally cost him his life, defeated a British navy of 186 ships and nearly 25000 men, with only 6 ships and 2500 men. This is a surprisingly and unjustly forgotten by history English and Spanish. Blas de Lezo remaining unbeaten died after the battle on September 7, 1741. His brilliant career assured the maritime domain of the Spanish Empire for 60 years. He was one of the best strategists in the history of the Spanish Armada, while one of the greatest unknown ending dying in oblivion ungrateful.
Therefore we ask that meet our request to honor the memory of such illustrious Spanish without which our history and America would have been quite different. "
Already you can sign if they so wish, here. It's all a matter of honoring the life of this forgotten hero.
I am the first to sign, that honour!, I'm going to campaign on my blog.

Indeed, in Malaga we are fortunate to have a street (or Avenue?) Called Blas de Lezo.
Greetings.
March 13, 2008 @ 23:24Congratulations on your very timely proposal. The strange thing is that it has not been done before.
March 14, 2008 @ 0:57Glory and honor to the heroes of Spain.
Hopefully this mutual desire is fulfilled and that is seen not only in Madrid, but is an example for other cities in Spain.

March 16, 2008 @ 13:57SPANISH incredible life of the hero. Very exceeding prowess recognized by NELSON, that his side is just a brumete
March 17, 2008 @ 0:40freshwater. (the British have always been good propagandists in the world, disregarding others) I'm from Lleida and I would like to have a street named for Spanish hero, not a cocoon fascist named Sabino Arana. It would have to study and assess these more illustrious Spanish at school, at official events, press and TV. It is a pity that the common people do not know who is Blas de Lezo. As important as Colon, El Cid, etc. Pizarro. "Blas de Lezo faces only in 2500 Hobro strong Cartagena de Indias and 4 boats to 25000 Hobro arranged in 184 boats" Trafalgar was much more balanced besides being commanded by a French disastrous as Villenueve.
I join this wonderful proposal, which should be sent to the Madrid city council… and why not that of Bilbao, Barcelona…
You add in my blog.

March 17, 2008 @ 17:39We should be proud to share nationality

March 22, 2008 @ 13:01I have already signed. One of the few that has done with digital signatures and including comments, so that nobody can question the signing.
It is necessary to pay honor to this illustrious Spanish marine.
There are so many great men forgotten in the history of Spain that any such initiative strikes me as laudable (and, for more titulus, taking into account the gentuza to which desagradecido in this country choose to give a street name)
A greeting
March 22, 2008 @ 14:59I join the initiative to honor one of the most illustrious Spanish seamen, without forgetting his side illustrated in marine science. It seems that lie so important character, honour and glory of Spain, has no recognition that people from here is claimed in the Spanish capital. Congratulations and greetings

March 27, 2008 @ 16:59At least this initiative will serve to her figure is better known and to increase interest in our history… and step self-esteem of the Spaniards. Both speak of the disaster of the Navy and Trafalgar, as if we had not given them a good Tunde enemy armies in the past.

April 1, 2008 @ 19:41It's an honor to pay homage to this hero. But that does not have anything to do with the current policy. I am a leftist, and I prefer to PSO as much right to be proud of the men as well as most. As we have pointed out, should commemorate this battle as the English do with Trafalgar. Spain Viva!.

Congratulations on this proposal. As his fellow countryman, is an honor to contribute to the memory of Blas de Lezo is not lost ever into oblivion. Long live our heroes alive and Blas de Lezo!
April 4, 2008 @ 18:41Very well deserved by others, although it remains well short, by the immensity of character.
April 5, 2008 @ 9:44Here I leave my commitment to the proposal. Must see in London the number of monuments there in memory of their heroes.
Sure you have a street before the Chikilicuatre. What sadness!

April 5, 2008 @ 17:11I'm usually careful with it to put my data on the Internet, because you never know, but the initiative well worth it, and the page of signatures have an unblemished seriously.
Hopefully, (by which I hope our politicians do not much more) will make at least one small street, but this gentleman is well worth a street, a park and even a monument to himself in front of the doors of the museum naval madrid.
A greeting and thanks for carrying out these initiatives.

April 7, 2008 @ 22:15E avenge!
April 9, 2008 @ 12:43What honour, be the signatory # 100 for the very courageous Admiral has his avenue in Madrid. That happens.
April 10, 2008 @ 17:21The Avenue is already in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, from where I'm originally. I live in the U.S..
I suggest that the plaque says something more than who he was, like:
Avenida del Almirante
Don Blas de Lezo
I am originally from Colombia. Admiral Don Blas de Lezo is a hero Spanish but also Colombian. The commanded people born in both countries to overcome the second largest naval battle after the Normandy landings in 1944. Hopefully this will happen soon. We have to invite the Colombian people for the occasion and be able to celebrate together our common hero.
Alvaro Rodriguez,
a great character we should not forget their great courage and courage to say the least, someone who change history without which the history of Latin America would have been quite different, I join this great initiative. ah certainly am Mexican.
April 10, 2008 @ 18:17Hello! We can also vote for Latin America? (I'm Mexican) so if I join with great enthusiasm! I admire the courage and bravery of this great admiral who has no comparison, congratulations on out of oblivion.! goyix a greeting!
April 10, 2008 @ 18:45More than a street, there should be a large square such as exists in London (Trafalgar Square) in honor of Nelson, who only talk about the victories and no defeats of which took, such as the attempted invasion of Canary Islands, where he had lost his arm quite badly and left standing in your company.
In Spain we are very forgetful with celebrities such as this and yet to send ships to "celebrate" the 200 anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar. To say that the rival Lezo, Admiral Vernon, has a plate in, I do not remember how important church, despite the defeat bochornosa which took…
Why can not the directors of Holywood film like "The Gladiator" (Gladiator) with what he did Blas de Lezo?. It would be a very good business
April 10, 2008 @ 22:48And a statue in the middle of the square, like Nelson in Trafalgar Square… but higher.
Loor and Gloria D. Blas de Lezo.
April 11, 2008 @ 12:08I think that is one of the best ideas. I join and I propose that under papelñera there is a plaque that read "Please deposit the doblones here from Vernon"
April 11, 2008 @ 12:46Come on, we want to see a street on behalf of Blas de Lezo
April 11, 2008 @ 21:43In Spain we have the habit of canallas to enlarge and hide our great men. ! Cretinism have many streets, plazas and walkways! Because we have to ask that it s ela engaged. By the way, could exalted as an example of integration d elos disabled! What uncle!
April 12, 2008 @ 19:33We must honor the examples of history, courage and cunning, nobody better than D. Blas de Lezo meets these qualities.
April 12, 2008 @ 21:22Knowledge of its existence thanks to the statue of him there in Cartagena de Indias and certainly deserves a street in Madrid.
Blas de Lezo you deserve, is one of our greatest unsung heroes
April 13, 2008 @ 3:39Very good initiative and well-deserved
As the teacher Cebrian diria: Strength and Honor
April 13, 2008 @ 8:01More than a street, like we had to ask an avenue…….

April 13, 2008 @ 10:08Arribas Spain
April 13, 2008 @ 19:29Streets and statues are not sufficient for a character as unique in our history. Shall require a well-deserved public recognition much higher. What country is this? Security that if they were Yankee will have been THOUSAND film…
Forward therefore be made MI bit disseminate the initiative from my blog, a historian can not ignore.

April 15, 2008 @ 13:12Undoubtedly. Blas de Lezo deserves a street, but not only in Madrid. I suppose that Airline will have a street, square or street dedicated to such illustrious neighbor… although, not, not.
My vote on that street Pata Palo Alto.
"I would have been in Portobelo, you would not have insulted with impunity squares of the king my lord…"
Greetings
April 15, 2008 @ 18:58As Jon Urdangarín said in an article on Blas de Lezo:
Blas de Lezo will not be the most illustrious Spanish which has history, but probably the most courageous. It was, as well marine Elcano, Urdaneta, Oquendo and Churruca, a man of honour and a selfless soldier in the service of their homeland.
It deserves a central street and the recognition of the "Basque amazed that the world".
April 15, 2008 @ 21:12Greetings
Honor, loyalty, delivery, courage, honesty, decision, intelligence,…. we need more Blas de Lezo in this country.
April 15, 2008 @ 21:28A square…. for Firm.
If the square and its study in high school.
April 19, 2008 @ 19:56Sailing across the street Blas de Lezo San Sebastian to the streets of Madrid Blas de Lezo.
April 21, 2008 @ 12:04The names of the streets should serve to pay tribute to our ancestors. Thanks to them for their effort and sweat we have this suffering Spain today. And although some insist on trying to separate us we are a country with all its linguistic diversity, cultural and with a common history.
April 22, 2008 @ 8:33I am writing to the novelists and other Spanish-speaking Hispanic our brothers Admiral deserves not a street without an avenue to make movies and novels knowledge of the true pirates who were.
April 22, 2008 @ 15:46It is unbelievable but in Madrid there was no street Blas de Lezo. There simply street Lezo, cortita and Villaverde.
April 23, 2008 @ 11:40We still do not glorify national heroes…
In Bilbao we have to Recalde, Bertendona, Mazarredo as illustrious marine Bilbao and we also have the streets "Admiral Oquendo" Elcano and they were home Gipuzkoa but curiously there is no "Blas de Lezo." Given the significance of the hero of Cartagena do not understand that absence. Indeed I dare say that given what we owe to this man should be present in all the capitals of Spain.
Excellent initiative and congratulations on the website.
April 23, 2008 @ 17:31Seem that Spain AVEGUENZA of his wounds
April 24, 2008 @ 11:46[...] A prize more and longer range three. Thanks to Javier Sanz of stories of history by valuing the humble work that attempts to accomplish through this blog. For me the greatest reward is to get everyone together on initiatives such as yourselves putting on a street in Madrid to Blas de Lezo. [...]
April 24, 2008 @ 22:02I think we should also examine who was Bernardo de Galvez, because if Blas de Lezo made good, this one was not short either. The British expelled the American continent and the French financed with money the Spanish. Then the French boast that it was they who helped them in achieving their independence. Then the yankees us what Rob thanked Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines and the Pacific islands. All for not having a navy in 98 well-prepared. Go disaster rulers, my God.
A greeting to everyone.
April 24, 2008 @ 23:49I truly regret the embarrassment to put his name as a street to honor this man as we would have honored that make it a place in Madrid with his statue at the top, the style of Nelson in Trafalgar Square (But with greater height. Yet I can not cree que with what this man did not look at the institutes.
April 26, 2008 @ 4:54A souvenir military engineers that impregnable castle.
Gallardón, we are worth a small street for this man so big, people from the sea we are humble.
fifth 75, No 595 sailor 2 ° arv
Viv Blas de Lezo and above Spain
April 26, 2008 @ 13:06It was the best sailor who has had the Spanish navy in all its centuries of history, all that did was for his homeland and now their homeland is indebted to him. To put the name of a street is not enough, much more must be done. It would be desirable that all kinds of history is his name that we take pride in everything they did for Spain. We can not forget, I hope that someday see a monument in his honor, that day may rest in peace.
April 27, 2008 @ 6:37An initiative to extend to many more Spanish municipalities. And certainly deserve much more than a second or third street.
April 30, 2008 @ 20:29No wonder Blas de Lezo is an unknown to the Spaniards, for some reason that escapes me we are proud of our heroes, while worship the "intellectuals" Now, of course those who are politically correct.
What the plaza with a large statue would be some justice.
To put a street in every city would have to propose this to the various municipalities.
May 1, 2008 @ 7:59What pride to see that civil society has such initiatives and is not aborregada by political correctness, mediocrity, and unreasonableness. What was our big Blas de Lezo. Certainly Spain, in particular goes wrong because these people are in the collective forgetfulness and what is instilled in children is the mental perversion and not honor, glory, the virtue of loving their homeland that gave him so much. Do Then we do not have tension between Spaniards if we erase our past so unfairly? Goyix Thank you for your brilliant work of honoring those who can not listen, you're single and I have no doubt that if the circumstances arose to be the first to represent Spain and fight for it, because in fact you are doing this already. An affectionate greeting! Viva España all present!
May 1, 2008 @ 12:30This exceptional seafarer is undoubtedly at the height of Hernan Cortes, Francisco Pizarro or _Cristóbal Columbus. If you were American or English would have already made several movies about him. The Spaniards today we are worthy of heroes of this magnitude.
May 1, 2008 @ 13:51Signed, every good initiative deserves support. Luck.

3 Mayo 2008 @ 9:18Andábamos para las 650 firmas online. Más una buena suma en papel. Confiemos en que la página de recogida no se haya ido al cuerno. Gracias por vuestra ayuda e interés.
3 Mayo 2008 @ 12:04Vientos francos y abundante agua bajo la quilla.
3 Mayo 2008 @ 17:58España ha utilizado a muchos hombre para luego olvidarlos… Recordemos con orgullo a aquellos que sirvieron tan bien a su pais sin mirar atrás
Hoy Blas de Lezo; Gran marino español y terror de los enemigos de España
3 Mayo 2008 @ 23:31El historial de este gran marino desconocido para muchos está grabado en letras de oro en la historia naval; estoy convencido que el Ayuntamiento de Madrid se unirá a la memoria de Blas de Lezo colocando su nombre en una de sus próximas calles.
3 Mayo 2008 @ 23:44Firmado
4 Mayo 2008 @ 12:46Espero que lo consigamos.
4 Mayo 2008 @ 18:03Es un placer y honor unirme a tan merecida propuesta.
4 Mayo 2008 @ 22:04Me uno a esta petición, muchas gracias.
5 Mayo 2008 @ 17:11Sin más, esperemos que la petición prospere.
6 Mayo 2008 @ 0:04Este Blas de Lezo… tuerto, manco y cojo… y encima se muere de peste, si ejque…
6 Mayo 2008 @ 0:12Sr. De Salduero:
Tengo a bien informarle, sobre su propuesta al Excelentisimo Ayuntamiento de la Villa y Corte de Madrid para nombrar una calle en honor a la memoria D. Blas de Lezo y Olavarrieta, me es imposible firmarla por un error en el enlace.
Procuraré visitar dicha página, pues si hay algo que sobra en esta España nuestra, son los grandes héroes tristemente caídos en el olvido.
Un saludo cordial.
Fanpiro.
7 Mayo 2008 @ 15:34En un pais de Quijotes es muy grato ver que a pesar del olvido, han existido grandes nombres en nuestra historia.
7 Mayo 2008 @ 23:21Para mí es también un honor unirme a esta iniciativa.
8 Mayo 2008 @ 11:48soberbia iniciativa
9 Mayo 2008 @ 3:46Honor para ‘medio-hombre’ y honor para los que aún le recordamos
10 Mayo 2008 @ 9:49Los españoles siempre hemos y seguimos siendo un gran pueblo dirigido por sinvergüenzas e ignorantes , en esa desgracia sólo nos supera en Europa Italía .La memoría de Blas de Lezo está en el olvido por un simple motivo,era VASCO y eso por distintos motivos a los politicos nacionalista y nacionales no les interesa resalzarlo, mientras que los politicos de izquierda directamente no tienen ni puñetera idea por que no han leido un libro de historia en su puñetera vida.Esto hace que a día de hoy a Blas de Lezo no lo conozcan ni tan siquiera en su pueblo natal (lo puedo asegurar).Imaginemos que hubiera sido ingles , pero no ,por fortuna para España y por desgracia para el fue español de los de verdad y encima vasco de los de verdad.
10 Mayo 2008 @ 10:28Pues que sepa toda España que Blas de Lezo natural de Pasajes (Guipuzcoa) lucho y murio por esta España
El simple recuerdo de su placa en una calle no es suficiente para pagar la deuda contraida pero si para enseñarnos a todos los que despues vengan que: “Son las personas grandes las que forjan grandes naciones”.
12 Mayo 2008 @ 22:17He servido en dos barcos con su nombre. Es un orgullo y un honor haberlo hecho y haber estado presente en el homenaje en Cartagena de Indias y la placa en el Panteón de Marinos Ilustres. Debemos recuperar nuestra gloriosa historia, y este hombre forma parte de ella sin duda
14 Mayo 2008 @ 8:17Uno mas, que esto es “amnesia histórica”
15 Mayo 2008 @ 15:24Si lo pensamos un poco, quizás es la vida que llevamos la que nos dirige a olvidar e incluso rechazar la valía de este tipo de biografías. Por mucho que reneguemos de las hazañas bélicas ahí están, representando muchas veces puntos de inflexión en la historia que, en esencia, estaban condensados en la figura de un ser humano.
El valor… ¡qué afortunado es el que lo posee cuando se necesita!, lo mejor del tema es que no es una cuestión de tenerlo sino de entender que es una decisión. No creo que sea muy divertido estar en medio del mar mientras te cañonean e intentan matarte.
Y algunos podrán pensar que las guerras son culpa de ell@s, de las personas que pasan uno o más días rodeadas de los cuerpos inertes de los camaradas que les acompañaban en la batalla. Que son motivadas por los heridos y muertos que tuvieron que convencerse antes de caer de que iban a morir para no quedar paralizados por el terror…
Ojalá nunca hubiera habido guerras ni volviese a haberlas, pero así somos, raros de cojones.
Honor. Paraos a pensar en el honor. No entendido como tozudez y duelo sino como verdad absoluta, el respeto máximo por un posible contrincante y sobre todo, por uno mismo. Todos podemos decidir tenerlo, no está reservado ni para clases sociales ni para nadie en concreto. Un yonki puede tener honor, un médico, un pescadero, un rapero que está en contra de todo, ¿porqué no?.
Inspirémonos en las grandes historias. Empaticemos con esos hombres y mujeres que estuvieron muy por encima de lo que se podría esperar… No olvidemos nunca a los generosos por favor, hayan tenido una pluma, una probeta, un bisturí o una espada en la mano.
Tomás.
23 Mayo 2008 @ 3:01esa calle ya…
1 Junio 2008 @ 19:28Este hombre no debería tener una calle en Madrid. Debería renombrarse la Glorieta de Atocha (por ejemplo)como Glorieta de Blas de Lezo y poner una estatua más alta que la de Nelson, al estilo Trafalgar square.
La historia de España se puede dar un 10 en héroes, valor, arrojo y lealtad pero se puede dar un auténtico cero piñoreo en marketing y publicidad. Blas de Lezo es un ejemplo de ello.
El problema estará, como siempre, en que este auténtico superhéroe al que quizás solo se pueda poner a su altura Julián Romero (otro gran olvidado) era VASCO…
Ay ay ay … un VASCO más VASCO que todo el árbol genealógico de los Arzalluz que dejó toda su vida luchando por la corona de España chirria a muchos incultos de la historia
Si Blas de Lezo hubiera sido Inglés y no de Pasajes le tendríamos hasta en la sopa. Y si hubiera sido yanki no te quiero decir… se hubiera creado un estilo cinematográfico solo para él.
Vaya desde aquí estas líneas de mi más sincero homenaje a este auténtico superhéroe español que, como casi todos, murió en el olvido.
3 Junio 2008 @ 16:40No somos un país de olvido fácil. La prueba es esta iniciativa. Lo que parece que ocurre es que nuestros gobernantes son el fiel reflejo de lo más “mundano” de nuestra patria.
9 Junio 2008 @ 20:35A por la calle, ya que no se ponen álamos en las nuevas ciudades…
Hoy en la feria del libro he sabido de este hombre y es por eso que ahora estoy aquí, firmando en tu espacio ademas de en la petición para la calle. Personas como estas deberían de ser siempre recordados y nunca dejarlos caer en el olvido.
Un saludo y enhorabuena por este tu espacio.
15 Junio 2008 @ 23:12Memoria histórica para nuestros verdaderos héroes.
20 Junio 2008 @ 14:51¡Viva España!
Firmado y enlazado con banner permanente desde mi blog. Mucha suerte con la iniciativa.
22 Junio 2008 @ 22:33Mi humilde apoyo y respeto al recuerdo de tan insigne Marino y Soldado.
24 Junio 2008 @ 11:03Desde la tierra de Guzmán “el Bueno” un saludo.
24 Junio 2008 @ 17:57Tiempo al tiempo, suerte con la iniciativa.
27 Junio 2008 @ 0:26Me parece una iniciativa magnífica que haga justicia con alguien que se superó en la adversidad! Suerte!
30 Junio 2008 @ 13:41A raiz de un comentario a un hilo mio en el foro,dedicado
3 Julio 2008 @ 1:26precisamente a Blas de Lezo y las medallas de Vernon,he llegado hasta aqui.Estupenda iniciativa.
Ojala y salga bien.Tenemos una deuda de gratitud con este
extraordinario marino,injustamente olvidado.
Hola, esta muy bien esta iniciativa, aunque me parece increible que en Madrid no exista una calle con ese nombre, en Córdoba tenemos una calle con su nombre desde hace bastante años.
5 Julio 2008 @ 20:20Una iniciativa perfecta.
10 Julio 2008 @ 12:04Parece mentira que no se recuerde como es devido a los hombres que han hecho grande este país.
A greeting.
Una páguina muy buena.
Blas de Lezo es un héroe de nuestra Armada y de España y como tal hay q rendile homenaje. Me gusta mucho la iniciativa por lo q le doy mi total apoyo.
10 Julio 2008 @ 13:18Esta es la memoria historica que se deberia fomentar la memoria que nos implica a todos de la misma forma.
13 Julio 2008 @ 22:39Les recomiendo un libro.”BLAS DE LEZO EL MAL QUERIDO”.que acaba de sallir.tambien me gustaria que mirarais el articulo de este domingo dia 13 de perez reverte en el semanal “nuestros aliados ingleses”.Que bueno que eres reverte.
viva españa
VIVA BLAS DE LEZO:
Yo me apunto tenemos que recuperar la gloria de los héroes que dieron la vida por España (catalanes, vascos Castellanos, Extremeños, Asturianos, Cantabros etc..)
España Honor y Gloria Eterna.
14 Julio 2008 @ 21:09¡Gloria a la Armada Española! Isabel se tuvo que retorcer de rabia en su tumba cuando lo de Cartagena.
19 Julio 2008 @ 14:38Yo también firmo.
Me parece increíble como la persona que infligió a los ingleses la mayor derrota de toda su historia esté en el olvido. Ellos llevan 200 años restregándonos trafalgar.
20 Julio 2008 @ 15:50Me maravilla saber que hubo un gran marino que lucho apenas sin miembros por la gloria de si mismo y su pais aun siendo anarcosindicalista, apoyo este homenaje ya que este mediohombre se lo merece.ViVA blas de lezo y ojala españa remonte algun dia con hombres como blas ya que estamos en franca decadencia, viva la marina y viva blas de lezo.
21 Julio 2008 @ 3:52Cantan versos de bravura
21 Julio 2008 @ 3:59entonados por navios
de un imperio de altura
dios lo bendicio
blas de lezo lo acogio
si,su arraigo y valor
y con gran valentia
a los ingleses vencio.
Estos son versos dedicados a Blas de lezo grande en la memoria y en la historia.Soy el del comentario anterior anarcosindicalista pero orgulloso de blas de lezo.
Aqui dejo mi firma,un hombre grande,sin duda.
23 Julio 2008 @ 14:27Espero que este heroe logre una calle…Un pequeño detalle que se merece sin lugar a dudas,pero le devolveriamos poco comparado con lo que el dio a España… El y tantos otros heroes desconocidos.
Honor y Gloria a nuestros heroes!
23 Julio 2008 @ 21:14Todos los medios deberían emitir documentales, peliculas que revitalicen, que traigan a la memoria grandes héroes como Blas de Lezo, Álvaro de Bazán, Churruca, Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba.
¡Españoles!. ¡Qué no os de miedo, ni reparo en estar orgulloso de tales héroes!, así fuimos y somos, gente noble gobernada por gente mediocre.
Un saludo
26 Julio 2008 @ 21:52Enhorabuena por la iniciativa.
Debería conmemorarse la defensa de Cartagena de Indias como corresponde, tanto en España como en Colombia.
Estoy harto de que me pasen por la cara lo de Trafalgar.
“Por el mar hacia el Imperio, por el Imperio hacia Dios”
27 Julio 2008 @ 22:45Cuando estuve en Cartagena y me imagine el feroz combate que D. Blas de Lezo Ganò, se me puso la carne de gallina
29 Julio 2008 @ 22:44Que injusta es la historia con algunos heroes
Blas de Lezo siempre presente!!
Un orgullo para España y la historia Naval.
Es una pena que este gran héroe caiga en el desconocimiento de España en general y de sus hijos.
4 Agosto 2008 @ 12:57Sirva este comentario para homenajear la bravura inteligencia y Honor de don Blas y todos los valientes que han servido y sirven en los mares del mundo con barcos de nuestro pais.
Es una verguenza que un almirante que perdió tanto, en beneficio de la patria no tenga una calle en todas y cada una de las ciudades de ESPAÑA!!!!!es más las tenia que tener en todas las ciudades del continente americano también.
5 Agosto 2008 @ 18:09Verguenza nos tendría que dar a todos no recordar, honrar y elevar (como tan bien hacen los ingleses) a lo más alto a D. Blas de Lezo y Olavarrieta por lo que significó para España e Iberoamérica. Si no fuese por él, Cartagena de Indias y otros lugares serían hoy día como Jamaica…. sin embargo sigue siendo (por testimonio propio) la joya histórica y cultural que es. Menos mal que al pie del castillo de San Felipe hay una estatua de él; ya podría haber, como bien a constatado otro firmante, una estatua al estilo Nelson en Madrid y toda ciudad portuaria española. La sociedad española se ha embrutecido y amorcillado tanto que ya no sabe ni lo más mínimo de la historia de su propio país. Saludos y mi enhorabuena a los impulsores de esta iniciativa.
10 Agosto 2008 @ 23:40….es más, el día que tenga un velerito tengo muy claro cómo lo voy a bautizar!!!!
10 Agosto 2008 @ 23:41….ah, acabo de recordar que en mi pueblo malagueño de Fuengirola tenemos una calle con el nombre de Churruca. Y en Málaga centro sí que hay una calle Blas de Lezo. Algo es algo…. (por lo del comentario de otro firmante sobre Trafalgar).
10 Agosto 2008 @ 23:44No sería justo culpar a Inglaterra de la falta de conocimiento que existe sobre este heroe. Ellos escriben su historia y nosotros tenemos que escribir la nuestra. Este hombre merece una plaza más que una calle.
11 Agosto 2008 @ 16:59Es lo menos que merece Don Blas de Lezo
16 Agosto 2008 @ 19:56buena iniciativa,ya esta bien que se reconozca a un heroe…………
23 Agosto 2008 @ 21:48Una gran propuesta…. es justo hacer memoría de este héroe.
Adelante.
29 Agosto 2008 @ 21:20Apoyo la iniciativa.
29 Agosto 2008 @ 21:43Honor y gloria al que gloria y honor merece.
29 Agosto 2008 @ 23:53Honor y Gloria
30 Agosto 2008 @ 8:34Entre todos lo conseguiremos.
31 Agosto 2008 @ 0:04Honor y Gloria Eterna al Almirante Blas de Lezo, terror de la Pérfida Albión.
31 Agosto 2008 @ 9:52Como reza en la entrada del Arsenal de La Carraca , en Cádiz: ” Recuerda , España, que un día registe el imperio de los mares”.
31 Agosto 2008 @ 17:45Honor a los héroes de España
1 Septiembre 2008 @ 19:00Honor y Gloria merecidos. Enhorabuena a los promotores de esta noble y justa iniciativa.
2 Septiembre 2008 @ 20:03un marinero mas
2 Septiembre 2008 @ 22:36Una reservista más.
4 Septiembre 2008 @ 15:39Es de justicia.
Responsable de la derrota más importante que tuvo nunca Inglaterra.
4 Septiembre 2008 @ 16:24Con sólo seis navíos y 2.830 hombres, y mucha imaginación, Blas de Lezo derrotó al Almirante inglés Vernon, que traía más de 180 navíos (cerca de 60 más que la Armada Invencible española) y 25.000 hombres en Cartagena de Indias, al pie del Castillo de San Felipe
Lo peor de todo es que me parece que no se sabe exactamente donde está enterrado este verdadero heroe.
7 Septiembre 2008 @ 2:13gran hombre y marino en memoria de todos los vascos que dieron su vida por ESPAÑA
7 Septiembre 2008 @ 12:53Gran propuesta.
8 Septiembre 2008 @ 17:15Espero que se pueda sacar adelante y hacer justicia a uno de los marinos mas grandes que tuvo este pais.
Si Lezo hubiera sido ingles tendria una catedral en su nombre pero aqui ya se sabe,nos olvidamos de nuestra historia….que pena
Mis felicitaciones por tan necesaria y justa iniciativa.
9 Septiembre 2008 @ 11:19Mis respetos.
Desgraciadamente España suele pagar con el olvido a los que mejor la sirven.
Gracias por esta iniciativa, honor y gloria a Don Blas de Lezo.
9 Septiembre 2008 @ 17:20Justicia para un heroe…honremos su nombre!!!
10 Septiembre 2008 @ 10:24Arriba los vascos!
10 Septiembre 2008 @ 17:43Como ponia en un monte catalan:
A ESPAÑA SERVIR HASTA MORIR:
es un orgullo firmar para que le concedan una calle en madrid y un honor para todos
11 Septiembre 2008 @ 12:19
