[1910-1911, a crucial biennium in the history of the Asociación Española de Urología (II). Its founding members, the I National Congress and the first Record of the Minutes].

In May 1911, four months after the founding of the Spanish Association of Urology, the new medical association already had 53 founding and numerary members and held with dignity its first National Congress in Madrid. The success of this first meeting and its sessions was described not only by all the specialized journals of the time but also by the non-medical press, the chronicles and gossip news of which we broadly review in this paper. The reading of the Book of Proceedings of the I Congress of the S.A.U., considered today a bibliographic rarity, allows us to discover a large part of the historical background of the foundation; to know the name of the pioneers and inspirators of the Society; and to glimpse the splendid future of an entity that in less than a year and through the vigour of its promoters, would reach enormous notoriety within the country's health-care environment.
