It was a long and difficult process, but it has ended with the discovery of a plaque which will be named after one of the main rooms in the Jose Maria Artero Central Library’s Jose Montero Padilla room.

The City Council of Almeria expressed deep gratitude to him, who is his nephew from MaestroPadilla. He has donated to the city his bibliographic library that contains more than 12,000 titles. It also includes letters, photos, and objects from MaestroPadilla, an Almerian who was a legendary musician and universal singer who took the name of Almeria around the globe at a time when it was difficult.

Ramon Fernandez-Pacheco was accompanied by Carlos Montero, his son, and two of his grandchildren. Mari Luz Segovia is the president of Celia Vinas. Yesterday, he unveiled the plaque that forever baptizes this reading room, where every year, dozens of books are read.
