Abstract

The following article focuses on the Mountain Festival, celebrated on August 12, 1900, and presided over by Pereda, Menéndez Pelayo and Jesús de Monasterio; and the opinions that emerged around it. The party aimed to promote regionalism and seek roots that affirm and define that so diffuse concept of the mountain. The Mountain Festival gave rise to the awareness of a wide sector of the population. However, it also gave rise to numerous letters with conflicting opinions; some of its authors signed their names and others did so under pseudonyms. One of the pseudonyms employed was Resquemín, character of El sabor de la Tierruca.
