Marbella and San Pedro will host a giant interactive map of Spain to celebrate Constitution Day

The Marbella City Council, through its Citizen Participation department, will celebrate Constitution Day with an innovative and open proposal for everyone: the giant interactive map of Spain, the largest installation of its kind in the country created by the anthropologist and social innovator Ángel Arenas. The experience, named 'Spain Giant Interactive Map', will unfold over a portable walkable map of 230 square meters, allowing hundreds of people to explore the geography of Spain in a fun, educational, and multimedia way.

The activity will take place on December 5th in Marbella, at Fernando El Católico square in the Represa park, and on December 6th in San Pedro Alcántara, at the Church Square, from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Access will be free and open, with the participation of students from various educational centers in the municipality expected.

Councilor Enrique Rodríguez highlighted that "this is a high-impact initiative that brings the richness of our country closer in a fun and accessible way for all ages." He pointed out, "Constitution Day is an opportunity to reinforce our knowledge of Spain, its diversity, and our common history, and this map achieves it in an innovative and participative way."

Educational Value

The councilor emphasized the educational value of this activity, recalling that "more than 100 QR codes scattered across the map will allow access to digital content about heritage, culture, gastronomy, nature, or historical figures, making this proposal a unique educational resource."

The map provides information about World Heritage Sites, Natural Parks, emblematic places, traditional recipes, and figures from culture, sports, and history

The giant interactive map includes a comprehensive multimedia content system that provides information about World Heritage Sites, Natural Parks, Biosphere Reserves, emblematic places, traditional recipes, and prominent figures from Spanish culture, sports, and history. Additionally, the installation incorporates augmented reality technology that allows viewing monuments in 3D through holograms that appear over the map itself, adding an interactive dimension of great educational value.

The project has traveled to more than 60 locations in 13 countries, and Marbella will be the first non-provincial capital city in Spain to host this map specifically for Constitution Day. Rodríguez has invited all residents and visitors to participate in this activity, "designed to learn, have fun, and share a common space around the values of coexistence represented by our Constitution," and has recommended attending with a mobile device "to fully take advantage of the map's interactivity and discover the immense richness of Spain."
