A LUXURIOUS LINEUP: JAVIER SIERRA AND PALOMA SÁNCHEZ GARNICA

The 28th edition is notable for the presence of two top-level figures in the national literary scene, both winners of the prestigious Planeta Prize:

Javier Sierra (Godfather of the Fair): The author will inaugurate the 28th Torrevieja Book Fair on Saturday, March 28, at 12:30 p.m., with the traditional walk through the fairgrounds. Afterwards, at the Torrevieja Casino, he will give a presentation and sign copies of his latest work, "The Master Plan." It is worth noting that Sierra was a finalist for the 3rd Torrevieja City Novel Prize in 2004 with his novel "The Secret Supper."

Paloma Sánchez Garnica: On Saturday, April 4th, the winner of the 2024 Planeta Prize will visit the book fair. At 12:30 pm, in the halls of the Real Club Náutico de Torrevieja, the author will share details about her novels and participate in a book signing with her readers.
