Las Tunas Book and Literature Fair 2026.

The Las Tunas Book and Literature Fair has just come to a close—an event that, though small compared to previous editions, did not lose its essence.

This year fair celebrates the 35th of the Sanlope publishing house.

The Book and Literature Fair will take place from September 4th to 6th with a diverse program, dedicated especially to the centennial of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro, the Russian Federation as guest of honor, writers Adalberto Hechavarría Alonso (Majibacoa) and Jorge Luis Peña Reyes (Puerto Padre), and the 35th anniversary of the Sanlope publishing house.

Teresa is also dedicated to teaching others the wonderful intricacies of craftsmanship.

Teresa Escalona Fernández is one of those creators whose hands and ingenuity keep an ancestral tradition alive. With her knitting needles, boundless imagination, multicolored yarn, and the joy of being useful, she brings unique works to life.

Las Tunas bookseller Haydée Machado Valdés.

Haydée Machado Valdés captivated me from the very first moment. Not only with her charisma and warmth, but also by bringing us closer to those "paper friends" with whom she, in her work as a bookseller, has shared more than a decade. Thus, from the Fulgencio Oroz Athenaeum Bookstore, the Armando Hart Cultural Plaza, and various other venues, her face is a recurring and essential one.
