Short description:

The Presentation is a “conversation”, at the Central Municipal Library of Thessaloniki, to highlight Torremolinos and the celebration of the centenary of the “Generation of 1927” through the poetry magazine Litoral.

The Generation of 1927 is a unique group of poets/artist/writers with similar sensibilities which came together thanks to the Revista Litoral, whose first issue appeared in 1926 with collaborations by Federico García Lorca (as well as José Bergamín, Jorge Guillén, etc.).

The magazine is nuclear to this literary generation of writers, poets and creators, and the common link to Torremolinos. After its initial publications in 1926 it disappeared shortly after only to resumed its edition in Torremolinos in 1968 (https://edicioneslitoral.com/?v=04c19fa1e772).

For this reason, the generation of 27 and Litoral Magazine allow the city of Torremolinos to be highlighted as a space of tolerance and inclusivity. This presentation intends to show its cultural dimension as support for Torremolinos’ candidacy to EuroPride 2027 coinciding with the planned cultural activities of the celebration of the 1927’s generation centenary.
