El legado de Jorge Guillén

On the venue's site

The Biblioteca Nacional de España continues, once again, its collaboration with the Festival Eñe, an unmissable date for lovers of literature and contemporary creation.

This celebration will bring together more than one hundred free activities in 2026 between Madrid and Málaga. Poetry and the centenary of the Generation of '27 set the pulse of a programme that connects literature, music, film, theatre and visual arts.

In this edition the protagonist will be Jorge Guillén, one of the most influential and decisive poets of the 20th century. The native of Valladolid was a leading figure of pure poetry within the Generation of '27 alongside Pedro Salinas and Gerardo Diego. His legacy is held at the Biblioteca Nacional de España and will be analysed by another of the great living poets, Jaime Siles, a great admirer and expert on Guillén's work, who will be joined by María José Rucio, head of the Manuscripts and Personal Archives Service.
