Independent publishing fair in Figueres
Overview
The sixth edition of the Fira Transfronterera de Figueres (Figueres Cross-Border Fair) was held on La Rambla to highlight independent publishing houses. The event focused on quality works that often lack visibility in mainstream bookstores.
Coordinator Jaume Torrent noted that the fair featured 17 publishing seals, a number consistent with the previous year to ensure sustainability. Organizers emphasized that the fair provides a platform for readers to discover titles published up to ten years ago, whereas mainstream retailers tend to prioritize new releases. The event was opened with a proclamation by documentary screenwriter Sílvia Subirós Mercader. Participating publishers, including Barcelona based Adesiara, highlighted the enduring nature of their catalogs, which feature universal literature translations and Catalan classics.
