On his experience with 'Gesta Bárbara', the author wrote in his memoirs: "... many years have passed and no one can erase that flutter of the young, rebellious, iconoclastic and vertical spirit of those who raised wings, especially the poetry that, as always in the new group manifestation, it became a revolution of ideas ..."
