Coinciding with the announcement by the Minister of Culture of Spain about the begining of the process of selection for the European Capital of Culture in 2031, a new application named #BurgosisCulture2031 was launched on Friday 10th January.

After Valletta (in 2018), Victoria and Birgu are candidates to become the European Capital of Culture in 2031.For the two Maltese towns, this is a unique opportunity to showcase a remarkable cultural heritage and become a magnet for millions of tourists and travellers for a whole year.

Burgos, one of the candidate cities to be the European Capital of Culture for Spain in 2031, has launched a call for artists to be included in its cultural programme, specifically in the project 'Sala Negra' in Forum Evolucion.

In May 2024, a choir of children and adults will sing a lullaby for the city to unprecedented music based on the heritage of the lullabies of the citizens of Burgos and Matera.

In 2031, Spain will again be one of the European countries to nominate the European Capital of Culture along with Malta. After Madrid (1992), Santiago de Compostela (2000), Salamanca (2002) and San Sebastian (2016), this will be the fifth time for Spain to nominate a European Capital of Culture. One of the Spanish cities that has already decided to participate in the competition is Burgos. 'Renaissance' is the title of the project. Soon Ecocnews will tell you more about the aspirations of this community.
