Melchor Almagro y Díaz, Político y periodista, Granada, España - Grave of a Famous Person on Waymarking.com

Hijo de Rafael Almagro Campos de la Cuadra y de María de la Concepción Díaz de Gadea. Úbeda y Granada son las dos ciudades que marcan profundamente la vida del futuro político. En la primera cursa estudios elementales en el Colegio de los Escolapios y secundarios en el Instituto de Jaén, obteniendo el título de bachiller en 1865. En la segunda, siguiendo la tradición familiar, realiza brillantemente la carrera de Derecho, culminándola en 1871 con premio extraordinario, concediéndosele inmediatamente el grado de doctor por la memoria que versó sobre Reconocimiento del Jurado.

Sus años universitarios coinciden con una intensa agitación en la vida española, próxima la septembrina que había de derrocar a Isabel II. Para entonces, a pesar de su juventud, tiene unas claras ideas acerca de la situación del país y ha comenzado a definir el ideario que defenderá de forma permanente. Demócrata por convicción, mantuvo siempre una postura de moderación, alejada de radicalismos del signo que fuesen. Intelectual y hombre de la cultura, su confianza en la educación responde al convencimiento de la influencia que ésta podía ejercer en el ser humano.

Fuertemente individualista, como muchos otros de su misma generación, los rasgos esenciales de su personalidad se pueden sintetizar en su civismo, educación, tolerancia, comprensión, espíritu abierto y su concepto del hombre, al que considera eje y centro de la vida en común.
