Book shop Pynchon&Co of Alicante marks Bookstore Day this Saturday with a rich lineup that blends music, a book presentation, and a children’s workshop. At noon, the venue will host the unveiling of a children’s poetry book, a collaboration that features Iberian poet Ibese and illustrator Maria Rico Mira from Onil. The work, titled Nana to Nanita, is published by Ibi Degomagom, and the event will bring together young readers and aspiring writers for a creative morning. The authors, Maria José Alés and Maria Rico Mira, who contributed both text and illustrations, will lead a workshop designed for children up to 10 years old, inviting them to explore language, rhythm, and imagery in playful and accessible ways. The goal is to inspire gentle curiosity about books and storytelling in a family-friendly setting where literature can be discovered and enjoyed together.
An afternoon program begins at 7:00 p.m. with a flamenco guitar concert featuring Teresa Jiménez, known artistically as Teresa GuitarLinares. Hailing from Córdoba, Teresa embodies a blend of joy, flamenco vitality, elegance, and simple, direct communication with the audience. Local readers and visitors can expect a performance that feels intimate yet expansive, with the artist’s natural style and precise technique creating a memorable live experience for attendees. The concert promises to be a highlight of the day, offering a chance to experience flamenco guitar at its expressive best in a warmly intimate library setting.
The performer, who trained at the Córdoba Superior Conservatory of Music, is recognized as one of the most followed flamenco guitarists on social networks, with videos that have drawn thousands of views. For those seeking a unique cultural moment, tickets are available for purchase; the event offers a limited capacity of 50 places, with tickets priced at 15 euros. This limited seating emphasizes an intimate, close-up contact with the artist and the music, encouraging attendees to arrive early to ensure a space. The day at the library also invites visitors to explore what the library offers beyond the performances, including curated book displays, reading corners for children and adults, and opportunities to engage with local authors and artists who bring the written word to life.
