The painting 'Pinturas romanas. Pompeya' (1929) by Spanish artist Gregorio Prieto (1897-1992) is being highlighted as the picture of the day, connected to the Gregorio Prieto Museum in Valdepeñas. Prieto, a Manchego painter close to the Generation of '27, developed a homoerotic iconography after travelling through Italy and Greece, with classical Antiquity shaping his themes and landscapes.

A poem by American writer Hettie Jones, who lived from 1934 to 2024, is being shared as the "Poem of the Day" among Spanish-language poetry readers.
