Over 100,000 people visit the Unicaja Foundation's tenth anniversary space on its tour through Andalusia

Over 100,000 people have visited the Unicaja Foundation's tenth anniversary space, which recently concluded its tour in Jaén after visiting all the Andalusian capitals. This marks the end of its program of commemorative activities aimed at the public, which also included talks and concerts at its cultural centers, as well as special calls for social and environmental projects endowed with two million euros.

Since its inauguration in the Plaza de la Marina in Málaga last October, the tenth anniversary space has hosted close to 200 activities including talks, concerts, immersive reality experiences, children's shows, and environmental and sports workshops.

These activities took place in a large venue consisting of a 250 square meter geodesic dome with outdoor courts, which was also set up at the Granada Congress Palace esplanade in November, the Almadrabillas Park in Almería between November and December, the Glorieta Ana Orantes in Cádiz in January, the Plaza 12 de Octubre in Huelva between January and February, the Muelle de las Delicias in Sevilla in February, the Avenida de la Libertad in Córdoba between February and March, and finally the esplanade of El Corte Inglés in Jaén in March.

The dome's auditorium hosted talks by a hundred personalities from fields such as literature, visual arts, sports, education, the Third Sector, performing arts, and innovation. Speakers included César Ramírez, Eugenio Carmona, Miguel López Remiro, Silvia Leal, Inés Huertas, Ibón Navarro, Sergio Scariolo, and many others. In the musical segment, performances were given by Efecto Mariposa, Fran Perea, Dry Martina, Victoria Ruiz de la Rubia, Carlos Cortés, Alicia Tamariz, and The Farataos Jazz Band.

One of the main attractions was the immersive experience 'The City of Tales', enjoyed by nearly 9,000 visitors. This cutting-edge technology, which premiered in Málaga for the first time in Europe concurrently only with the city of Shanghai, allowed visitors to immerse themselves in virtual worlds inspired by famous classic tales.

Visitors could also learn about the future virtual museum of the Foundation, a space open to all audiences featuring the main works and authors from one of the most important private collections in Andalusia. Additionally, visitors could interact with accessible 3D models of the main monumental sites of each province, such as the Fundación Unicaja María Cristina Hall in Málaga, the Royal Chapel of Granada, the Alcazaba of Almería, and others.

Inside the dome, visitors could learn about the main milestones in the history of the Foundation through a retrospective exhibit and its lines of action in culture and heritage, education, environment, social action, research, innovation, and entrepreneurship through videos and 360 projections.

On the recreational-sports tracks outside, visits and masterclasses by different sports teams such as Unicaja Basketball, Unicaja Costa de Almería Volleyball, Unicaja Jaén Paraíso Interior Athletics Club, among others, took place. Environmental awareness workshops were also held, where participants learned about the importance of the Mediterranean forest and sustainable practices.
