This is all for families, except the last stop which is open only to adults.

Elena Rodriguez, Councilor for Culture, stated that the festival was unique in the province, and that it is one of the most important festivals in the autonomous community. This is due to its 23-year history and the high quality programming it presents. She said that the Malion Association worked hard on the proposal for this year, so that everyone can enjoy it as any other storytelling festival. Obra Social la Caixa's support was also appreciated by her. They are involved in various social and cultural activities throughout the year that have a positive impact on the town. We consider the festival a great cultural and social initiative. Felix Carbajo (director of La Caixa in Ubeda) said that he hoped that they would continue to support one another and that they would increase their collaborations.

The collaboration with UNED, which is also heavily involved in Ubeda's cultural and educational life, has been another of the collaboratives that has given this festival more projection and a didactical character. The Oral Narration Cycle was hosted by Malion at its Ubetense headquarters in recent days. This was the fourth year of the collaboration. This initiative envisioned three conferences. Celso Fernandez Sánmartin, who drinks directly out of orality and all the stories around him, was the last to take place. He starred in the talk titled 'Count'.
