Books will continue to help us resist in times of pandemic. The Gijón Book Fair (FeliX20). This edition, which had to be postponed by the coronavirus health crisis, has 45 stalls and more than 50 activities scheduled until Sunday. Luis Sepulveda you will receive in the Old Institute a posthumous tribute, after his death from coronavirus last April.
The contest shines this year like never before with an interesting and complete program. Until Sunday there will be presentations, short film screenings, round tables and conferences. The booksellers’ union presents the pending and current novelties at this fair. One of them, Enrique López, recalls that with the outbreak of the pandemic, citizens have returned to the books in search of the evasion that reality has denied them.
The booths are distributed, for security reasons, between Paseo de Begoña and Calle de Tomás y Valiente. With this circuit, people will be able to stand on posts– each has a gel dispenser hand sanitizer – buy without rushing or attend scheduled presentations and signings.
