Marbella becomes the national focus of video games

The Adolfo Suárez Palace of Fairs and Congresses hosts until this Sunday the 'Play Marbella Game Fest', an event that positions the city this weekend as the national capital of video games. This is a new formula that the Marbella City Council explored last year to diversify its tourist offerings and attract young visitors. The event was inaugurated yesterday, attended by the Councilor for Youth, Alejandro González, along with the Tourism Delegate, Carlos García. "It is one of the most important events in the country thanks to the Plan for Major Tourist Cities, which we develop together with the regional administration," said the councilman, who noted that it is "a great opportunity for the municipality, as it attracts many people from different parts of Spain, generating a significant impact on our locality."

During these days, professional tournaments of League Of Legends (LOL), Valorant, or Pokemon are held, in addition to other amateur competitions. The event will bring together prominent players from the gaming ecosystem, such as influencers, streamers, ProPlayers, and companies, offering a varied program on video games, technology, digital art, illustration, and pop culture.

Program

The event will feature high-level eSports competitions. Attendees can also enjoy professional racing and flight simulators, as well as participate in workshops on robotics, drones, and 3D printing. Additionally, the initiative will have a Market Area with products and novelties from the digital world.

Last year's celebration of the Marbella Gaming Days, which hosted the National Grand Final of University Esports and Junior Esports, the main educational and technological projects linked to video games in our country, received a great response from the public, which the City Council hopes to repeat with this event. The gaming world thus consolidates itself in Marbella with events of this nature, especially aimed at a young audience.
