Readers in Tacoronte will have the opportunity to meet local author Pablo Daniel Ramos Infante this Saturday, 4th July, during the presentation of his latest novel, El hijo de Selene guarda uvas podridas (The Son of Selene Keeps Rotten Grapes).
The event will take place at 12:00pm in the Óscar Domínguez Hall at the Casa de la Cultura and forms part of the municipality’s July cultural programme, organised by the Department of Culture at Tacoronte Town Hall, led by Mayor Sandra Izquierdo.
This is the third novel by the Tacoronte-born writer and follows a detective investigating a series of gruesome murders linked to a Bacchic sect devoted to the Roman god of wine. The investigation centres on a powerful port landowner before being interrupted by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, forcing the protagonist to decide whether to cooperate with the new regime or remain on the sidelines, and face the consequences of that choice.
Born in Tenerife in 1997, Pablo Daniel Ramos has already built an impressive literary record. He is the author of La Azotea, which won the First Prize at the VI Benito Pérez Galdós Award in 2025, and Perros y Monedas, winner of the El Pleito de La Aldea Novel Competition in the same year.
He also co-authored Un barrio, tres nombres, published by the Cabildo de Tenerife for the Asociación Salvemos la Historia, and has written the short stories La Ventolera and El Barco.
El hijo de Selene guarda uvas podridas has been published by Octubre Negro Ediciones and adds another title to the growing body of work from one of Tacoronte’s emerging literary voices.
