The mayor of La Laguna, Luis Yeray Gutiérrez, as president of the Education, Culture and Sports Commission of the World Heritage Cities Group of Spain, took part yesterday in Madrid in the presentation of the fourth edition of The Heritage Night, a Unique cultural event in Europe, with a program of events that take place simultaneously in the 15 historic cities with the Unesco seal.
The Cervantes Institute hosted the presentation of a program that includes the extraordinary opening of monuments or museums and activities for all audiences, with first-rate shows.
Luis Yeray Gutiérrez was in charge of presenting the numerous activities that will take place in the historic centers. “From 8:00 pm to early morning, heritage and cultural spaces will be open to the public for free, which will allow them to enjoy museums, palaces, churches, town halls and representative buildings, outside their normal hours,” he explained.
The Heritage Night is structured in three sections in the 15 cities: Open Heritage, with open doors of monuments and cultural spaces; Live Heritage, which presents a great cultural and leisure offer that will be distributed throughout its historic centers; and Scene Heritage, a festival and creation platform for dance in heritage spaces.
Luis Yeray Gutiérrez added that, “from the Department of Culture and Heritage of each city, they will organize, within strict security measures, a multitude of guided visits to the historic centers and hundreds of shows in the squares, streets and heritage spaces, such as concerts, conferences, exhibitions, poetry recitals, storytellers and clowns, puppets, audiovisual projections and videomappings ”.
“The local cultural groups will also play a prominent role, as our city councils support the cultural fabric, and we will also have great figures such as Andrea Bocelli in Mérida,” he added.
It should be noted that unfortunately the concert planned by Ainhoa Arteta, on the 18th in La Laguna, has had to be suspended due to health issues, as reported yesterday from the City Council, which is working “to close a new performance on the same date, equally artistic quality ”. The tickets purchased will be valid for this new concert or they will be entitled to a refund of their amount.
