The 'Wednesday Cinema' cycle in Gines continues with the screening of 'How to Train Your Dragon' at Teniente Guillermo Antúnez Mellado park, with a large turnout of families.
Teniente Guillermo Antúnez Mellado park in Gines hosted the fourth session of the 'Wednesday Cinema' 2026 cycle, featuring the animated film 'How to Train Your Dragon'. The initiative, organised by the municipal Culture department, brought together a large audience, especially families, who enjoyed the adventures of young Viking Hiccup and his dragon Toothless.
The film, originally released in 2010 and based on Cressida Cowell's book series, tells the story of a teenage Viking who defies his village's traditions by befriending a dragon. The outdoor screening, in a natural setting, allowed attendees to experience summer cinema in the heart of the town.
The 'Wednesday Cinema' 2026 cycle, which began in early July, has established itself as one of the cultural highlights of summer in Gines. The programme includes films for all audiences, with free sessions in various parks throughout the municipality. The organisers recommend that attendees bring their own chairs for added comfort, as the screenings take place outdoors.
The upcoming events in the cycle will continue throughout August, with a change in schedule: sessions will start half an hour earlier, at 22:00, to accommodate the summer twilight. On August 5, 'Mufasa. The Lion King' will be screened at 'El Cortijuelo' park, while Concejala Dolores Camino Park will host two movie nights: on August 12 with 'Snow White' and on August 19 with 'Lilo & Stitch'.
Finally, the cycle will move to Manolo Pérez Park to close the 2026 programme with two sessions: 'Elio' on August 26 at 21:30, and 'Bad Guys 2' on September 2 at the same time. With this initiative, the Gines City Council aims to bring cinema to all corners of the municipality, promoting cultural leisure outdoors during the summer months.
The public's response, which has been overwhelmingly positive for the initial sessions, reflects the community's interest in such activities. The Culture department values the participation positively and encourages everyone to continue enjoying the upcoming screenings.
