The Mallorcan group Fades will be in charge of giving the opening speech for the 44th edition of the Palma Book Fair on May 29th in Plaça d'Espanya. The trio, formed by Vicenç Calafell, Ferran Pi, and Àngel Exojo, will officially inaugurate the event with a ceremony hosted by journalist Margalida Mateu at 6:30 PM.

The Menorca Catalan Book Fair celebrates its twentieth edition this weekend in Ciutadella, with a program of activities that fills the Plaza del Born with literature, culture, and the reading public. This year, the event pays tribute to the Menorcan cartoonist Marino Benejam, coinciding with the fiftieth anniversary of his death.
