The Seville Book Fair has received on May 30, 2011, the Medal of the City, which has been awarded for its “commendable” role in the cultural life of the city.
The award ceremony, awarded by the City Council of the Spanish capital, took place at the Lope de Vega Theater. Together with the Book Fair, eleven other personalities and entities from various fields of Sevillian society have been recognized.
The acting mayor of Seville, Alfredo Sánchez Monteseirín; the president of the Andalusian Parliament, Fuensanta Coves, and the president of the Senate, Javier Rojo, have delivered the different badges to the winners, whose trajectories have been reflected in a video of several minutes.
