The Book Fair “Mogán, Takes the Word” is taking place this Friday and Saturday in the Pérez Galdós square of Arguineguín, featuring literary workshops, activities for schoolchildren, family entertainment, presentations, talks, and book signings. Notable guests include renowned writers Juan Gómez‑Jurado and Albert Espinosa, who will share their latest works with the audience.

During the opening, Simone Artiles from the Municipal Library Network emphasized the role of libraries as centers for learning. Writer Néstor Acosta highlighted the visibility of Canarian authors, and Laura Fantasy advocated for the recognition of contemporary national literature.
