Have you ever wondered about the history of Miraflores, located on Hildebrand across from the University of the Incarnate Word? Join us at the Landa Branch Library for this presentation.

Dr. Aureliano Urrutia, a prominent physician from Mexico City, immigrated to San Antonio in 1914 during the
Mexican Revolution. He built his atmospheric garden, called Miraflores, near the headwaters of the San Antonio River, to reflect his love for and memory of his homeland.

In “Miraflores,” Anne Elise Urrutia, the great-granddaughter of Urrutia, uncovers the garden’s history, drawing on family archives and other primary sources to reveal this remarkable story.
