Literature in our country responds to an increasingly segmented public, the fantasy genre being one of the most prolific genres of all.
As evidence of it, The city of Salamanca will host the Niebla fantastic literature festival from September 30 to October 2, organized by the Salamanca City of Culture and Knowledge Foundation and the Salamanca Association of Anonymous Authors.
An appointment that promises to become one of the great literary bets of Castilla y León for the beginning of autumn.

Salamanca is considered one of the most cultural cities in Spain, a fact that the Salamanca City of Culture and Knowledge Foundation has endeavored to promote in recent years, with the Plazas y Patios program currently being the perfect proposal for theater, music and literature during the summer months in the city.
An appointment that will be followed by a new event called Niebla, first fantastic literature festival in Salamanca, which "was born with the will to endure over time and become one of the great national events", as explained a few hours ago by the Councilor for Culture of the city, Julio López.
This contest, whose poster will be announced in the coming weeks, will try not only to include round tables, meetings and conferences related to gender, but also It will also include other activities such as storytelling, cosplay days or micro-drama and literature workshops..
Among the first international attendees, the Chinese author has been confirmed Ken Liu, whose first novel in the Dandelion Dynasty saga, The Grace of the Kings, was published this year; o Ian Watson, author of the Warhammer 40K series.
At the national level, the event will feature authors such as Juan de Dios Garduño, Carlos Sisí, David Jasso or Rodolfo Martínez. To top it all off, nothing better than a meeting with the translators of some of the most popular works of fantasy literature of the millennium: Cristina Macía (Game of Thrones), Pilar Ramírez Tello (The Hunger Games) and Nieves Azofra (Harry Potter).
The Niebla festival organized by the city of Salamanca aims to become one of the must-see quotes of this year's fantastic lyrics and, we hope, many more.
