The Estepona City Council informs that next Friday, February 23, at 18.00 hours, will take place in the Alfonso Gil Hall of the Casa de Las Tejerinas, located in the Plaza de Las Flores, the presentation of the first solo poetry book by the actor and poet Miguel López Ramírez, ‘Guiños en el Alma’, in which he merges two of his passions: poetry and photography. As its title indicates, the author does not pretend to be a scholar in poetry, he only intends to touch the heartstrings of each reader, through his own life experience.

Guiños en el Alma’ is not a self-portrait, it is not a lyrical autobiography, but there is a lot of Miguel in his poetry, how he has lived his passions, his fears, his unknowns ….. Although the title of the book comes from one of the poems included in it, Miguel intends to wink at the souls of all those who read it, “with this he intends to show that in the face of feelings, we are all basically the same”, he says.
