The Book Swap Market, organized by the Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council, was once again a success this weekend, with 3,278 attendees and 8,377 exchanges taking place at the Iradier Arena. Councillor for Culture and Education, Sonia Díaz de Corcuera, highlighted the exceptional atmosphere of the event, describing it as "a consolidated event that citizens eagerly await."
Participation was balanced across all shifts, with 58.23% female attendance and 41.76% male. Of the exchanges, 41.76% were in the children's and youth category, which, according to the councillor, "means it is a very valuable resource for families and children to update their book collections."
The event was rounded off by children's workshops, which were attended by 356 children, concerts by Caoba that enlivened the event, and positive results on social media.
