This Friday, the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council has taken a leap in the modernization and updating of the municipal area of Culture with the creation and edition of the digital magazine “Maspalomas Escénica”, which summarizes cultural and leisure proposals in the disciplines of music, cinema, dance and theater. The first issue, already edited and published on the municipal website and also with a link on the Department's Facebook, includes the programming offered for the months of September, October and November.
With 29 pages and a jovial, entertaining and elegant format at the same time, this digital magazine has been prepared by the Department of Culture itself, directed and coordinated by the second deputy mayor, Elena Álamo Vega, and the delegate councilor Esther Delgado Sánchez, respectively. . Its purpose is to complement and modernize with a quick and attractive visual imprint the traditional dissemination service of the cultural activities proposed by this City Council, as it expands the impact of approaching and reaching the greatest possible number of users by facilitating their access and reading through all types of mobile devices.
The Department of Culture intends to prepare and edit it to disseminate its programming on a quarterly basis. In addition, it is already working on a special issue for the month of December dedicated entirely to the entire Christmas cultural programming.
In its first issue, 'Maspalomas Escénica' echoes the cultural billboard that begins precisely this Saturday, September 16, with the theatrical performance of "Globe Story" at the Maspalomas Cultural Center, with free admission until capacity is reached. The piece performed by Gemma Viguera (Greta) and Fernando Moreno (Max), with Elena Aranoa on the piano, is a fast-paced comedy-show that tells a love story set in a cinematographic space, articulated as a tribute to silent cinema.
