On July 15, 2026, the commemorative exhibition for the 50th Anniversary of Hispania Nostra was inaugurated at the Casa de las Carnicerías in León, and the book that reviews half a century of Hispania Nostra's work in defending and conserving Spain's cultural and natural heritage was presented.

The exhibition was previously available in April at the Official College of Architects of Madrid (COAM) and now begins a traveling tour through different locations across the country, as part of the outreach activities to highlight Hispania Nostra's ongoing efforts to safeguard our heritage and the need for social participation in its conservation.

The exhibition, which can be visited until the end of August at the Casa de las Carnicerías (Plaza de San Martín 11, León, Spain), has been made possible thanks to the collaboration of ACS Foundation and Acción Cultural Española (AC/E).

The Spanish Federation of Neuromuscular Diseases (Federación ASEM), in collaboration with ACS Foundation and other institutions, organized a new edition of the ASEM Summer Camps between July 5 and 12. This summer camp is aimed at children and young people with and without neuromuscular diseases.

The camp took place at La Cinglera holiday camp in Vilanova de Sau (Barcelona), a fully adapted natural environment designed to promote autonomy, participation, and coexistence. For one week, 30 children between the ages of 8 and 18 were supported by a team of 25 camp counselors and healthcare staff, ensuring care tailored to each participant’s needs.

The ASEM Summer Camp is the only camp in Spain that brings together children and young people with neuromuscular diseases each year, offering them a unique experience on equal terms.

In the ancient Roman city of Los Bañales, located in the region of Cinco Villas, about 100 kilometers from the city of Zaragoza, the 18th Archaeological Campaign is concluding this July. These annual campaigns of archaeological excavation, protection, restoration, and study of the Roman city of Los Bañales de Uncastillo bring together students and expert researchers in Roman archaeology from multiple nationalities.

Among the notable finds of this 2026 campaign are a kiln for producing tiles and glass from the early Imperial period (1st to 3rd century AD), as well as a bone pendant and a lunula (crescent-shaped amulet) discovered in the city's northern decumanus (east-west main street). These findings, along with the excavation progress, will be presented to the public through two activities:

-       A guided tour of the site led by the scientific director of the archaeological project, Javier Andreu, to be held on Saturday, July 18 at 9:30 AM.

-       An Open Day, which will take place on Sunday, July 26 at 10:30 AM.

Both activities will serve as the closing events for the 18th Archaeological Campaign and are part of the program of activities for the dissemination and promotion of Roman heritage in the Cinco Villas territory. They are organized by Los Bañales Foundation, with the support of the Government of Aragon, the Provincial Council of Zaragoza, the City Councils of Sádaba and Layana, the University of Navarra, and ACS Foundation, among others.

During July 2026, the Picasso Museum Málaga, in collaboration with ACS Foundation, is offering various summer workshops and activities for children under the title When the Heat Arrives…

Through fun and innovative proposals, children can explore different artistic disciplines from an open and flexible perspective, where curiosity and creativity take center stage. Working with the concept of Picasso and other artists regarding the "found object" or "objet trouvé," children will experiment freely with a wide range of artistic techniques and materials.

The activity is organized into three weekly sessions from June 29 to July 17 and will take place in the Education Classroom of the Picasso Museum Málaga.
