Jane Austen's work and Pride music, Benalmádena's proposals for this Saturday

'Jane Austen: 250 Reasons to Love You' and Pride are the events Benalmádena has prepared for this Saturday, July 26. The first event is part of the celebration organized by the Arroyo de la Miel Public Library to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth of the popular British novelist, while the second is a music festival organized by the local council to promote diversity, freedom, and equal rights for the LGBTIQ+ community.

The activities related to the author of works such as 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Sense and Sensibility' will include a series of lectures on literature, history, and women. Among the participants is Jesús Zaro, a retired professor from the Department of Translation and Interpretation at the University of Málaga. The event will start at 10:15 AM at the Arroyo de la Miel Public Library.

The activities will move at 1:45 PM to Paloma Park with a literary picnic, and from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM, there will be sewing workshops (hosted by Felicia Atelier) and tea workshops ('La Ruta de Kaldi'), as well as various games.

Regarding Pride, which is in its second year, the event is scheduled for 10:00 PM at the esplanade of Castillo El Bil-Bil. The lineup for this second edition includes performances by Drag Alma de Soul, Salva Ortega, Savy Sloane, DJ Aless Bric, and artist Kuve, a finalist at the Benidorm Fest, who will close the night with music, pride, and celebration. Additionally, the Benalmádena Fishing Club will manage the bar service, offering affordable prices for all attendees, thus promoting a festive and accessible atmosphere, as highlighted by the council.
