This coming Saturday, April 24, come and join in celebrating the Día Internacional del Libro. Thousands of books in both Spanish and English, ranging from classics to children’s literature, and so much more will be on sale for as low as P20.
And following the Spanish tradition, get for every purchase a free rose. The first 400 visitors will also receive a free Miguel Hernández poetry anthology (courtesy of Fundación Miguel Hernández).
On the same Saturday, there will also be an Open House at the Instituto Cervantes grounds. Get a chance to mingle with your favourite authors as they grace this event, signing copies of their latest works. Festivities will begin at 10 a.m. Enjoy a day of books, poetry, music, dance, film, Spanish food and cap the night off with a Latin party.
Día del Libro is going to be a day full of excitement for all ages, with adventures to be had and prizes to be won.
