A photography marathon with cash prizes

La Noche al Raso also invites amateur and professional photographers to take part in its traditional photography marathon, organised by the Asociación Fotógrafos de Matagallar.

Photographs may be submitted until 11pm on July 5, 2026, in accordance with the rules published by the organisers.

With this extensive programme, Coín will once again bring June to a close by transforming its historic centre into a large, free cultural venue designed to be enjoyed with family and friends.
