Sociedad Compás

When Masonry started here in Torrevieja around 1992, The Old Tower was the first Lodge, followed a couple of years later by Caledonia Lodge and later still by Logia Las Salinas. At first we were like Nomads, scurrying about with our folding pedestals etc. and we had to use any restaurant with a largish room for our meetings and Festive Board after. This proved to be quite unsatisfactory, so we decided to rent a large room in a restaurant called Los Arcos, where all of the Lodges settled. However, it was not very long before we realised that the amount we were paying in rental would pay off a mortgage. After several meetings of Lodges a committee of about six was cobbled together to assess various sites, which we did for several months. Eventually a young Mason in the building trade brought to our attention a particular building that we might be interested in. It was a hell of a mess! At one time it had been a 'Night Club' –

Welcome to GLP Velencia

Barrie R. Mansell Welcome to the Province of Valencia web site. I extend this welcome to Masons and Non-Masons alike. To the Masons I say that I hope you will find something to interest you and that you may be encouraged to visit a Lodge, a telephone call or email to the Provincial Office will put you in touch with an appropriate Lodge and you will be most welcome.

To any Non-Masons I hope that you will find this site interesting and that if you have any questions you will contact me via email.

Freemasonry is not a secret society neither is it a religion. It hopes to show men the right way to behave and live, and to extend relief and charity to all - masons and non-masons alike.

This web Site is evolving and it needs your help to improve and continue to be of relevance please contact the Webmaster with any ideas or corrections.

For the Attention of All Members of The Grand Lodge of Spain

Installing your Successor

install his successor. Dear Brother,
It seems that I may have caused some confusion among some Brethren with comments I made recently, so to set the record straight these are my thoughts and concerns:

I do not feel that it is right and masonic for an outgoing WM to not install his successor. Whilst I am prepared to give some credence to the fact that not every WM is capable of it, I have to wonder why they became WM if that is the case.

About us

Freemasons Freemasonry has been active in the Province of Valencia since the 1980's. Today there are approximately 570 members meeting in 25 Lodges across the Province. We are constitutionally part of the Grand Lodge of Spain.

Due to the cosmopolitan makeup of the Province, which stretches from the southern border of Cataluña in the north to the northern border of Murcia in the south, (please see map in 'Where we meet' there are masons from many countries attending Lodge Meetings. The meetings are therefore held in a variety of languages including Spanish, English, German and Dutch, depending on the Lodge. Most of the Lodges work in Emulation although there are three that work in Scottish rite.
