The exhibition “Dante. Dalí”, at the Museo do Mar de Galicia in Vigo, can be visited until November 15 at the Mar de Vigo Museum. The exhibition brings together nearly one hundred engravings created by Salvador Dalí to illustrate The Divine Comedy. The works show the artist’s unique style applied to Dante’s journey through Hell, which consists of 34 engravings, Purgatory with 33 engravings, and Paradise with another 33 engravings.

One of the most interesting aspects of the exhibition is seeing how Dalí transforms Dante’s words into images full of imagination and symbolism. Although both artists lived in very different periods, their works share the creation of fantastic worlds and reflections on topics such as sin, suffering and spirituality.

The visit allows visitors to discover a classic work from a different perspective and learn about a lesser-known side of Dalí as a surrealist painter. However, this exhibition allows visitors to discover his work as an illustrator.

In addition, the exhibition includes old editions of The Divine Comedy

La exposición “Dante. Dalí”, en el Museo do Mar de Galicia, en Vigo, se podrá visitar hasta el 15 de noviembre en el museo Mar de Vigo. Dicha exposición reúne cerca de un centenar de grabados realizados por Salvador Dalí para ilustrar La Divina Comedia. Las obras muestran el particular estilo del artista aplicado al viaje de Dante por el Infierno que consta de 34 grabados, el Purgatorio con 33 grabados y el Paraíso con 33 grabados también.

Uno de los aspectos más interesantes de la exposición es comprobar cómo Dalí transforma las palabras de Dante en imágenes llenas de imaginación y simbolismo. Aunque ambos artistas vivieron en épocas muy diferentes, sus obras coinciden en la creación de mundos fantásticos y en la reflexión sobre temas como el pecado, el sufrimiento y la espiritualidad.

La visita permite acercarse a una obra clásica de una forma diferente y conocer una faceta menos habitual de Dalí de pintor surrealista. En cambio, en esta exposición se puede conocer su trabajo como ilustrado.

Además, la exposición incluye antiguas ediciones de La Divina Comedia.

He is mainly known as a surrealist painter, especially for his paintings full of strange images, dreams and impossible elements. However, this exhibition allows visitors to discover his work as an illustrator.

In addition, the exhibition includes old editions of The Divine Comedy and a section dedicated to the Galician writer Darío Xohán Cabana

Castrelos becomes Vigo’s main summer stage for children with three family shows

Vigo is giving children a leading role this summer. The Castrelos Auditorium will not only host major concerts, but will also become a meeting point for families with three shows specially designed for younger audiences during July and August.

The children’s programme will begin on 6 July with “The Great Adventure of Little Chick Pepe”, a musical based on the popular children’s character. The show brings Pepe and his friends to the stage in a fun story full of songs, humour and audience participation, creating an experience designed for young children and their families.

The second family event will take place on 20 July with “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, a theatrical adaptation of the classic tale. The performance will introduce children to a world of imagination while highlighting values such as honesty, confidence and creativity.

The Castrelos children’s calendar will continue on 3 August with “Clown Tallarín: His Great Circus”, a musical family show inspired by the world of CantaJuego, featuring songs, dancing and colourful characters created especially for children.

Beyond these performances, Vigo’s summer programme also includes educational and creative activities for children, with workshops linked to art, culture, history and local heritage, offering families opportunities to learn and enjoy the city together.

With these events, Castrelos aims to become one of Vigo’s great family meeting points during the summer months. The combination of outdoor shows, culture and entertainment provides children with a chance to enjoy live performances in one of the city’s most emblematic locations.

This summer, Vigo is not only preparing a programme for adults and visitors, but also creating a space where children can discover music, theatre and imagination through unforgettable family experiences.

Vigo Arena: the 16,000-seat venue set to transform Teis and reshape Vigo’s future

Vigo is preparing one of the most ambitious urban projects of the coming decade: the construction of the Vigo Arena, a new multi-purpose venue designed to bring major international concerts, elite sports competitions and large-scale cultural events to the city.

With an expected capacity of between 15,000 and 16,000 spectators, the arena aims to fill a historic gap in Vigo: the lack of a modern venue capable of hosting the biggest shows and attracting international tours that currently choose larger cities.

The project will be located in Guixar, in the Teis district, as part of a wider urban transformation covering more than 62,000 square metres. The regeneration plan includes the construction of over 600 homes, around 60% of them protected housing, together with new public spaces, green areas and commercial zones.

The future arena will occupy a plot of approximately 10,000 square metres and is planned as one of the main landmarks of the new neighbourhood. Its design follows a contemporary architectural approach, adapting to the natural slope of the land and reducing the visual impact of the building.

The concept is based on a partially integrated structure, allowing the venue to blend into its surroundings while improving acoustic insulation. The upper area could become an accessible urban space with greenery and pedestrian routes, creating a connection between the building and the neighbourhood.

Inside, the arena will be designed for maximum flexibility, allowing rapid changes between sporting events, concerts and entertainment shows. The project includes multi-level seating and a possible underground car park with capacity for around 1,000 to 1,500 vehicles.

Construction is expected to begin around the end of 2028, once planning procedures, design work and public tendering are completed. Given the size and technical complexity of the project, the venue could potentially open around 2031 or 2032.

More than a sports hall, Vigo Arena represents a long-term vision for the city: combining architecture, culture, tourism and economic growth while turning Teis and Guixar into one of Vigo’s new urban centres.
