Estepona residents have two opportunities to engage with contemporary literature this week, as the Biblioteca de Culturas Contemporáneas hosts events featuring authors Casilda Sánchez Varela and Violeta Gil. Both events offer free entry, providing accessible cultural enrichment at the Mirador del Carmen.

Casilda Sánchez Varela: A Journey into Solitude

First, on Tuesday, 27 October, Casilda Sánchez Varela will co-lead a literary workshop titled ‘La literatura que nos salva. Lecturas esenciales sobre la soledad, el duelo y la esperanza’. Starting at 18:00, the workshop, also featuring cultural manager Violeta Dávila, is free but requires prior registration via bcc@estepona.es.

Later the same evening, at 20:00, Ms Sánchez Varela will present her book ‘A veces nadie’ on the sixth floor of the library. The author, who also serves as vice-president of the Fundación de Paco de Lucía, explores a delicate and powerful journey to understand solitude in her work. Admission is free until full capacity is reached.

Violeta Gil’s Recital

The cultural programme continues on Wednesday, 28 October, at 20:00, when the Biblioteca de Culturas Contemporáneas will host ‘No me quiero ir a casa todavía. Unos poemas y unos bailes en la BCC’. This recital is presented by writer and performing artist Violeta Gil.

Ms Gil is also the founder of the theatre company La Tristura, which performed at Teatros del Canal from 2017 to 2020. Her company's works have been staged in international cities including Paris, Rio de Janeiro, and Hamburg. Access to this event is also free until full capacity.
