The 65th edition of the Jornadas Colombinas cultural festival is being held in La Gomera from September 2 to 18. Under the theme ‘Tras las huellas de la Historia’ (Following the Footsteps of History), the multidisciplinary event includes conferences, music, cinema, literature, and gastronomy across the island’s six municipalities.

During the event, Cabildo President Casimiro Curbelo highlighted the island’s historical role as a departure point between the Old and New Worlds. The program focuses on using historical knowledge to address modern challenges, specifically emphasizing the value of democracy in the face of war, disinformation, and political polarization. The festivities aim to position the Canary Islands as a ‘tricontinental meeting point’ between Europe, Africa, and America to foster dialogue on memory and coexistence.
