Description

“Cada flamenco debería venir aquí al menos una vez”: el consejo del escritor Bart Van Loo. Este “lugar primigenio” se encuentra en Gante, en el Coyendanspark, una llanura verde entre Dampoort y Portus Ganda. Cerca fluye el Leie hacia el Escalda. Y la palabra germánica antigua para ‘confluencia’ es ‘Ganda’. Difícilmente puedes acercarte más a las raíces de Gante.

“En la época de gloria de la Baja Edad Media, viven en Gante casi 70.000 personas”, dice Bart Van Loo. Ahora son, por supuesto, muchos más – alrededor de 270.000. Pero en aquel tiempo eso era enormemente mucho. “Ciertamente si lo comparas con Ámsterdam, que oscilaba entre 1.000 y 3.000 habitantes. Flandes es el Silicon Valley de su época. Y Gante es la ciudad más importante. Estamos aquí en el Manhattan de la Baja Edad Media.”
