The town of Dos Torres is preparing to host the documentary film A Mystical Journey next Friday, September 11. The film, directed by Lucas Hidalgo, recounts the final months of Saint John of the Cross's life in the city of Úbeda.
This event will serve as a prelude to the XXIV Rural Film Showcase of Dos Torres. Following the screening, a discussion will take place with the participation of Father Francisco Víctor López Fernández, OCD Prior of Úbeda.
