The town of Puerto Lumbreras has hosted the first edition of the Book Fair, organized by the association of creators and artists 'Palin' and the association of writers 'Murcia Romántica', in collaboration with the City Council of the town.
The latest literary novelties have come from the hand of publishers such as III Columns, Pluma Verde or Dokusou Ediciones.
The bookshops 'Papiro' and 'Rayas' have also had a space in this event.
The fair, which has been held in Augusto Vels public park, has offered attendees various cultural alternatives such as painting or poetry.
The event was inaugurated at 10.30 am with the 'live painting' initiative.
It was a proposal directed by Santi García Cánovas, who has had renowned painters from the Region of Murcia such as Marcelino Menéndez, Bruno Banalli and local artists.
At 11.00 am, the broadcast of a live radio program began.
Then, a book signing was held in which more than a fortnight of local writers and other points of the Region of Murcia participated.
Among the authors from Lumbrere, Carmen Martínez, María Pérez, Isabel Navarro, Mª Concepción Pérez de Carrión, Blanca Túnez, Chris Torrent, Mireya Ruiz, Purificación Gázquez Rodríguez and María Pérez Martínez were present.
Another of the proposals offered by the fair was a poetic recital by the association of Murcia poets.
The program of activities was completed with a contest of short stories to explore the creativity and desire to write of the students of 3rd and 4th Primary of the schools of the municipality.
The jury in charge of naming the winners is made up of members of the Palin association, a representative of the Asociación Murcia Romántica and the local writer Carmen Martínez.
The winners will be presented with a diploma and a batch of books.
To conclude, the Councilor for Culture and Tourism, Mª Victoria Jerez, has highlighted "the importance of encouraging culture by beginning to encourage reading from the earliest ages."
