Marinant Estellés offers a tour of the poetic landscapes of Estellés, highlighting its connection with the Marina Alta, its people, its light and its sea.

Among the authors of these texts are prominent writers such as Tomàs Llopis, Antoni Espí, Antoni Prats, Laura Romà and Anna Gascon.
The artistic direction and curation of the exhibition are carried out by Tomàs Llopis Guardiola and Salvador Bolufer Femenia, both recognized for their work in the field of poetic recitation and creation. Llopis highlighted the emotionality of Estellés' verses, while Bolufer underlined the complexity of defining the poet due to the depth and diversity of his work.
