Tacoronte's 6th Historical Novel Festival - Saturday 7 November

The 6th Tacoronte City Historical Novel Festival takes place from 5 to 15 November in the Municipality of Tacoronte. Organised by the Department of Culture in collaboration with the Cabildo de Tenerife, this year the festival focuses on the theme "Canarian Sensitivity and Mentality", highlighting the fundamental role of women in the history of the Canary Islands and their social, economic, and cultural contribution. The Department of Culture aims to consolidate Tacoronte, and indeed the entire archipelago, as the ideal setting for future creations in contemporary historical literature.

This event presents the specific programme for Saturday 7 November, with a day full of literary presentations, workshops, a talk, and a film forum, inviting reflection and learning through history and literature.
