- The old website to collect signatures online has disappeared without notice and have lost them all.
Anyway we have many signatures on paper. If anyone wants to work do not hesitate to contact me. And finally from here we will start collecting back online you can all sign.

Social networks are invading our lives and is especially relevant including the phenomenon Facebook. Nothing is alien to this community, nor the deeds of Don Blas de Lezo. For months, was created a cause on Facebook to get a street in Madrid dedicated to our hero, a movement parallel to the information already started here . Now we discover that someone has created a fan club of the Basque sailor. Like almost all broadcasts of information on the Internet, performance is viral so more people adhere more people will know of their whereabouts and support the cause. The important thing is that we know who he was and what he did, that is nothing to know our history, what we are.
Continuing the work of honor and memory retrieval of Blas de Lezo , now we have decided that this sea has a street legend in the capital of Spain, Madrid.
I have therefore arranged a collection of signatures on paper and online under this request:
"We ask the Hon. Madrid City Council the naming of "Blas de Lezo" one of the vials or places in the municipality of Madrid.
Blas de Lezo and Olavarrieta born in Tickets (Guipúzcoa) on February 3, 1689, was a Spanish admiral during 40 years participated in 22 fights that always emerged victorious despite suffering terrible mutilations he promptly became one-eyed, lame and maimed . His life story is impressive, extremely large and unknown to most locals, but stands out greatly, and still legendary throughout Europe, the defense of Cartagena de Indias in 1741. In this episode, which ultimately cost him his life, he defeated an English fleet of 186 ships and about 25,000 men, with only 6 ships and 2500 men. This is a surprising fact and unjustly neglected by historians English and Spanish. Blas de Lezo staying undefeated 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 ended up dying in the ungrateful forgetfulness.
We therefore request that meet our request to honor the memory of such illustrious Spanish without which our history and South America have been very different. "
Now you can sign if you wish by clicking here . It's all a matter of honor the life of this forgotten hero.
