International literary festivals have recently focused on themes of migration, travel, and adventure. The 14th Periplo International Travel and Adventure Literature Festival in Puerto de la Cruz features over thirty authors discussing topics such as forced migration and identity. Concurrently, the 19th International Meeting of Migrant Poets in San Luis Río Colorado brings together more than 60 writers from Mexico, the United States, Peru, and El Salvador to provide a platform for migrant voices. In Spain, cultural activities have expanded to include historical research and social themes. Celebrations in Villablino mark the 150th anniversary of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza, while events in Ciudad Real feature poetry and lectures on feminist autonomy. Other literary developments include the presentation of a new biography of Miguel Hernández based on unpublished letters and various local history presentations across several Spanish regions. Recent activities in Spain include the presentation of José Luis Lara’s novel ‘La silla de Dios’ in Alcalá de Henares and the fifth ‘Ciudad de Linares’ Historical Novel Conference, featuring authors such as Manuel Pimentel and Isabel San Sebastián. The biography of Miguel Hernández by Mario Amorós continues to be highlighted in Cieza and Elda. Further regional events include poet Pedro J. Plaza González at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, a lecture series on feminist autonomy by Sandra Santos-Fraile in Ciudad Real, and various local research presentations in Terrassa, Villaviciosa de Odón, l’Alfàs del Pi, and Santa Cruz de La Palma.
