Today is a good day to go to the cinema if you
live in Spain. Once more, Spanish cinemas have joined together in order to
encourage people to go to the pictures. The initiative launched under the name “la
Fiesta del Cine” offers us the opportunity of watching a film at a low price – €2.90 – just by registering previously in the webpage “Fiesta del cine
2014”. This special promotion started yesterday and will finish tomorrow so it
lasts only three days but if you are lucky to make time, it is worth taking
advantage of this initiative as the price reduction is quite noticeable in
comparison with the usual price of a cinema ticket. Most cinema-goers seem to
be aware of it, that´s why long queues of people can be seen at the entrance of
local cinemas or in the numerous multiplex cinemas. Have a break and switch off a little bit:
forget about your daily worries, your job – your lack of job – or your studies
and think about a different place inhabited by characters whose lives may have
nothing to do with yours or, funnily enough,
characters with whom you have a lot in common, who would have thought of
it? That´s the magic of going to the cinema!
