The Torremolinos Book Fair will take place from Thursday 8 to Sunday 11 October 2026 on Avenida Marifé de Triana. For four days, this central location will become a meeting place for readers, writers, publishers and local booksellers.

At 7:00 p.m., Isabel Bono will discuss her book El mal de la risa. The opening day will conclude at 8:00 p.m. with a poetry reading by Isabel Guerrero.

Authors will sign copies after their respective talks, giving visitors an opportunity to meet them and receive personally dedicated books.
