In the cultural sector, the death of Guim Cifré, a 34-year-old promoter for Barcelona’s Jazzsí venue, has been confirmed following a traffic accident. His passing has led to the postponement of the venue's reopening. Additionally, the La Bressola educational network celebrated its 50th anniversary, with the Diputació de Barcelona committing to continued funding for the Catalan-language school network in Northern Catalonia through 2028.

Other local updates include a medieval fair in Valencia’s Les Arenes beach area and the premiere of the immersive play ‘Fràgil com una bomba’ at the Les Cigarreres Cultural Centre in Alicante. Meanwhile, Leroy Merlin has issued a product recall for a specific lot of its ‘Gaming Led Astrolite’ star projector due to potential eye injury risks.
