Elvira Lindo, Abraham Boba, and an exhibition by Manuel León, headliners of the autumn program in Estepona

Writer Elvira Lindo, Argentine Pedro Mairal, poet from Malaga Ángelo Néstore, artist Manuel León, musician Abraham Boba, and the head of psychological experiments on the TV show 'El Hormiguero,' Jordi Moltó, are some of the names that will shape the cultural autumn in Estepona, at the Contemporary Cultures Library of Estepona, located at Mirador del Carmen.

The advisor in charge of this space, Alejandro Simón Partal, explained that "the Contemporary Cultures Library kicks off its last quarter of the year with a diverse program, designed to connect with all audiences and to position itself as a lively, dynamic space open to dialogue between disciplines, a place that consolidates itself as the cultural epicenter of the city due to the level of its activities and the presence of prominent creators in a series of free activities."
