Given the current confinement, they have instead organised something  different, along with the local Guadalinfo Centre, asking residents to upload a photo of themselves with a favourite book or a videos of themselves reading out a paragraph.<br \/>\n\tThrough Facebook and Instagram, many Mojaqueros of all ages joined in the fun, sharing all manner of books ranging from &#8220;Don Quixote&#8221; to &#8220;Gone with the Wind.&#8221;<br \/>\nMoj\u00e1car is famous for talented and creative artists, as well as being the inspiration for numerous books, many by local writers. International Book Day was the perfect time for locals to select some of these to share, including &#8220;Mojaqueros de Hecho&#8221; by Francisco Haro P\u00e9rez&#8221;, &#8220;La Guajira&#8221; by Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Montoya and &#8220;A Peculiar Reign in Spain&#8221; written by the recently deceased Ric Polanski. Also selected, about Moj\u00e1car\u2019s landscapes and people, were those recently published through Moj\u00e1car Council\u2019s tourism section, \u201cLeyendas Mojaqueras\u201d and \u201cDiccionario Mojaquero.\u201d<br \/>\nThere was no shortage of younger authors chosen, such as Maite Castillo Camano, a writer from Alicante, whose novel &#8220;B\u00fascala!\u201d is set in Moj\u00e1car and, Luisa Pi\u00f1ero, whose thriller &#8220;Llegado el Caso&#8221; is about a Moj\u00e1car hotelier and his ups and downs on an international trip.<br \/>\n\tThe teachers at the town\u2019s Garabatos Nursery made a charming video for the children, reading stories and sending out greetings to their little ones.  The Bartolom\u00e9 Flores teachers had the same idea, playing out characters from stories or adventures, to encourage reading and the magic of literature to help get through these days. The pupils also took part in a fun video entitled \u201cPOSTULEO de Cuarentena del Bartolom\u00e9 Flores\u201d, highlighting the many ways and places to read and have fun reading. Snapshots, arranged by the teachers and students of each class, showed that even in this difficult time of confinement, they could all manage to put on their best smile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many Mojaqueros of all ages joined in the fun, sharing all manner of books Each year, Moj\u00e1car Council\u2019s Culture and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":14221,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"#ffffff","slide_template_v7":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[34,32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualidad-en","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
