What does the book fair mean for holidaymakers in the south?
The fair takes place in Puerto del Rosario, not in the southern resorts such as Morro Jable, Costa Calma or Jandía. Anyone travelling from there needs to allow for the journey to the island capital. The organisers give no official information about public buses, parking or shuttles in the checked details.
No registration or special entry requirement is mentioned for visitors. The offer is expressly aimed at residents, foreigners and visitors alike.
Anyone staying in the south can combine the fair with a day trip. Puerto del Rosario lies centrally on the east coast and can be reached from the southern holiday centres via the FV-2. The Cabildo de Fuerteventura does not publish specific journey times or parking recommendations in the available sources.
Where exactly does the Feria del Libro take place?
The venue is the Plaza del Centenario at the Palacio de Formación y Congresos in Puerto del Rosario. The Carpa Josefina Plá and the Sala Sinfónica of the Palacio de Congresos are among the spaces used for programme items.
The Palacio de Formación y Congresos is a central events building in the island capital. The square in front of it serves as an open-air space for performances such as the contemporary circus production “Tenet” by Eunoia Colektiva on 15 October at 18:00.
The fair has announced book presentations, talks, signings and activities for children, schools, theatre, music, dance and circus. The full day-by-day programme for all four days was not yet fully confirmed in the checked sources.
What programme is planned for opening day, 15 October?
15 October begins at 10:00 with an event for school groups.
In the afternoon at 17:00, “El tren de las letras” moves through several areas of Puerto del Rosario to the fairground. At 18:00, Eunoia Colektiva presents the circus production “Tenet” on the square of the Palacio de Congresos.
The literary evening begins at 19:00 with the talk “Leer abre fronteras”. Journalist Àngels Barceló and writer Ignacio Martínez de Pisón take part. At 20:00, Jacobo García presents his book “Años luz”. At 21:00, the music programme “Raíces” by Strad & Cía follows.
