This afternoon, the light of Barcelona and the stone of Santiago embrace on Rúa do Vilar. At  7:00 p.m. , the  San Pablo Bookstore  becomes the stage for a cultural celebration: the presentation of  El aprendiz de Gaudí (Gaudí’s Apprentice ), the new and luminous novel by  Jesús Bastante .

Following the overwhelming success of its launch, which has already reached its  second edition , the author arrives in Compostela to share the intricacies of a story that is, above all, a tribute to creation and the search for beauty.

Why can’t you miss today’s appointment?

If you’ve ever been awestruck by the towers of a cathedral or the impossible forms of nature, this presentation will captivate you. Jesús Bastante hasn’t just written a book; he’s opened a window into the daily life of Antoni Gaudí: his dreams, his doubts, and his immense capacity to see the world in a different way.

In this afternoon’s meeting you will discover:

• The more human side of genius:  What daily life was like in the workshop of a man who spoke to flowers and stars to design his buildings.
• A story of learning and overcoming challenges:  The relationship between the master and the young apprentice teaches us that art is a legacy passed from heart to heart.
• The spiritual connection:  The fascinating dialogue between the Camino de Santiago and the symbolism of the Holy Family.

A luxury panel in an unbeatable setting

The presence of  Francisco José Prieto Fernández , Archbishop of Santiago, and  José Manuel García Iglesias , one of the leading experts in Art History at the University of Santiago de Compostela, guarantees that today’s talk will be enriching, engaging, and full of fascinating anecdotes. Moderated by  Foro Hernández , the afternoon promises to be a haven of culture and tranquility in the heart of the city.

“Gaudí didn’t just build temples; he built bridges between the human and the divine through light and color ,” the author comments.

An invitation for everyone.  Whether you’re passionate about architecture or simply enjoy a good story well told, today is an unmissable event. It’s the perfect time to get your signed copy, chat with the authors, and let yourself be swept away by the passion of a book that celebrates life and art.

We’ll be waiting for you today at 7:00 pm at Librería San Pablo (Rúa do Vilar, 37)!  Come and discover how imagination can change the world.
