Francisco Artola Beuzón was born in El Puerto de Santa María
in 1927. The fascist revolt of 1936 left him without a father, a socialist
carpenter who was shot by Franco’s rebels.
As a child he began working in
various trades until, at age 18, he started working as a cooper at a wine
cellar. He married Lola Ibáñez in 1954.
He was a militant member of the Communist Party of Spain
since 1958 and did important trade union and political work, especially during
the dictatorship. His political work got him into prison for several years.
