The book 'The Gospel according to Caravaggio', a journey about the Tartessos, and the musical show Cayana, are Marbella's proposals for this week.

This week, the cultural agenda of the Marbella City Council will offer, in various venues around the municipality, a diverse program that combines history, literature, poetry, heritage, and ... music. The program starts this Wednesday, March 11th, at 7:00 PM, at the Real Hospital de la Misericordia, with the lecture 'Biblical Tarsis and the emporium city of Tartessos. The Protohistoric Site of Huelva', which will be delivered by Fernando González de Canales, a scholar from the Royal Academy of History. The talk will address the enigma of Tartessos, its possible link with Biblical Tarsis, and the archaeological findings from the Andalusian city's site, which demonstrate the existence of trade networks and wealth in the Bronze Age. Admission is free until full capacity is reached.

On Thursday, the 12th, also at 7:00 PM and at the Real Hospital de la Misericordia, there will be a book presentation for 'The Gospel According to Caravaggio' by writer Jaime de los Santos, with journalist Isabel Párraga participating. The book reconstructs the life of the Italian painter from a human and artistic perspective, highlighting his creative legacy and the social context in which he developed his career.

The programming will continue on Friday, March 13th, from 5:00 to 6:30 PM, at the Cortijo Miraflores Cultural Center, with the seminar 'Passwords with the Future. A Didactic Approach to Poetry', conducted by the poet Álvaro García. The session, titled 'Feeling versus Sentimentalism', is part of a series of four meetings aimed at approaching poetry from a theoretical-practical perspective, open to all levels. Participation requires prior registration via email at delegacion.cultura@marbella.es.
