La Taula's Gastronomic and Literary Dinners continue on Friday 20 November at the restaurant of Hotel Port Jardín Milenio, with another evening dedicated to literature and gastronomy. This time, the guest of honour will be Alicante-born writer Joaquín Hernández, who will present his novel La isla de las flores amarillas.
The event continues an established tradition in La Taula's cultural programme, bringing writers and readers together around the table in a relaxed and welcoming setting where guests can discover new books, meet their authors and enjoy the restaurant's cuisine.
For this edition, Joaquín Hernández, author of Los secretos del olvido, will introduce his second novel, La isla de las flores amarillas, published in 2026 by Plaza & Janés. Set on Tabarca Island in 1991, the story follows Rosa, a young woman who dreams of leaving the island but whose family circumstances keep her tied to the hotel where she works. The arrival of a new guest and the mysterious appearance of yellow flowers set the scene for a story filled with secrets, intrigue and emotion, against the backdrop of this unique island off the coast of Alicante.
During the evening, guests will have the opportunity to discover the ideas behind the book and talk to Joaquín Hernández about his creative process, his characters and the stories that inspire his novels. It is a chance to explore a story that combines romance, mystery and family relationships in an atmosphere that encourages conversation and interaction between the author and his readers.
The evening will begin at 9:00 pm at La Taula restaurant, located in Hotel Port Jardín Milenio, and will preserve the essence of the Gastronomic and Literary Dinners: a table, an author and a story as the starting point for an evening where culture and gastronomy come together once again.
With this latest event, La Taula continues its commitment to bringing culture closer to Elche through intimate encounters with prominent voices in contemporary literature, establishing itself as a venue where gastronomy also becomes a meeting point for culture.
As places are limited, advance booking is recommended to secure attendance.
