Alicante bibliophiles are in for a treat this Easter as the 25th edition of the hugely popular Book Fair will hit the streets of Torrevieja between Saturday April 1 and Sunday April 9.

A total of 8 bookstore booths (Buendía Bookstore, Alas de Papel Writers Association, The Thousand and One Books, Torrevieja Stationery, Trini Bookstore, Santos Ochoa Bookstore, Baigorri Bookstore and Rivendell Bookstore) will be installed on Paseo Vista Alegre, while a marquee next to the Coralista monument will stage a host of different events throughout the week.

One of the highlights of the event will be a book signing by acclaimed author Santiago Posteguillo, whose hit novel ‘Yo, Julia’ won the Planeta Prize in 2018. He will be promoting his latest book, ‘Roma soy yo’ and anyone who makes a purchase from one of the stores will be entered into a raffle for the grand prize at the end of the Fair.
