The Deputy of Promotion and Tourism, Francisco Javier Lozano, highlighted Jaén's proximity to Madrid, just a three-hour drive by highway, as a key factor in attracting visitors during July weekends. "With Jaén en Julio, we showcase a different side of Jaén through musical events that highlight its beauty and encourage exploring new experiences in our destination," stated Lozano, who also congratulated the festival directors and the involved municipalities for their commitment to music and culture.
The presentation event at Café Berlín in Madrid was attended by representatives from travel agencies and the media, as well as local authorities such as the mayors of Pozo Alcón, Iván Raúl Cruz; of Cazorla, José Luis Olivares; and of Torreperogil, José Ruiz, along with the Councilor for Culture and Tourism of Alcalá la Real, José Manuel Marchal, and the festival directors. The group Atomic Lemons performed live, and attendees had the opportunity to taste extra virgin olive oils from Jaén Selección and products bearing the Degusta Jaén seal.
