This week, cultural life in Sant Just Desvern has been especially active. The Ateneu presented its winter program for the first quarter of 2026, combining established cycles with new formats such as the Festivalet Folk and the arrival of classical ballet with The Nutcracker, which sold out thanks to recent stage renovations. The Docs del Mes film series featured ‘Estimada Flor’, followed by a discussion, while AUGGE hosted a lecture on Toulouse-Lautrec and Parisian nightlife. Registrations also opened for the Municipal Facilities Network, offering a wide range of cultural workshops and exhibitions. A new adult theater course has also started at the Ateneu.
