This year’s poster was created by Adrián Soriano, a member of the popular group «Arabí.» The author explained that he wanted to «simplify all the roots of folklore into the image of two dancers in Labrador costumes, combined with spirals of colors, embroidery designs, wine stains, and excerpts from some paragraphs of Yecla.»
