Under the slogan 'Yesterday's references, today's pillars', most of the activities will take place between Monday 22 and Sunday 28 June, although several events are already happening, according to a town hall press release.
"This year we want to thank the perseverance and work of the people who have been defending the right to love whoever you love for a long time. Therefore, Almeria will host a diverse programme that combines cultural, educational, artistic and protest activities, aimed at all citizens," said Bleda.
He went on to say that "this programme aims, once again, to make visible the reality and the rights of LGBT+ people, to recognise the work of those who have fought for equality and diversity, to promote spaces for coexistence, awareness and citizen participation and to reinforce the institutional commitment to a society free of discrimination".
The programme, which can already be consulted on the Almeria city hall social media starts on Monday 22 at 6pm at the EMMA, with a Flamenco con Orgullo show (flamenco with pride). This will be followed by a screening of the film Maspalomas at the city library at 6.45pm.
