Ventas de Huelma (Granada) hosted the latest stop on the Summer Microfilm Festival this weekend, an initiative organised by the Vente a Vivir a un Pueblo platform and Iberdrola España as part of the company’s commitment to enriching cultural life in rural communities and showcasing the quality of life that small towns have to offer.

The free event brought together around 100 local residents and visitors for an open-air cinema evening, where they enjoyed a selection of award-winning micro-short films—each less than a minute long—from competitions organised by Iberdrola España and Cultura Inquieta.

The evening concluded with a screening of Pioneras. Solo querían jugar (Pioneers: They Just Wanted to Play), a documentary about the women footballers who broke new ground in the 1970s, laying the foundations for the remarkable growth of the women's game in Spain. Iberdrola España has championed equality in sport for the past decade through its support for the Spanish women’s national football team and a number of national sports federations.

Organised in collaboration with Ventas de Huelma Town Council, the event transformed a summer evening into a gathering for the local community and visitors alike, with free popcorn and soft drinks adding to the festive atmosphere.

Over the coming weeks, the Summer Microfilm Festival will visit towns across Spain, bringing culture to rural communities while helping to showcase them as attractive places to live, work and enjoy leisure time.

Andalusia, one of Iberdrola España’s key growth regions

In Granada province, Iberdrola España recently commissioned the 330 MW Caparacena solar plant, one of the largest photovoltaic facilities in Andalusia. The project generates enough clean electricity to supply around 165,000 homes and represents one of the company’s most significant recent investments in the region, reinforcing its commitment to the development of sustainable energy infrastructure.

Andalusia has become one of Iberdrola España’s main growth regions. Over the past two years, the company has contributed almost €1.8 billion to the Andalusian economy, strengthening its position as one of the region’s leading economic drivers. Iberdrola España also maintains a leading position in renewable energy, with more than 1,500 MW of installed renewable capacity. In 2025, it sourced goods and services from more than 220 Andalusian suppliers, while continuing to promote electric mobility and self-consumption through a network of more than 1,600 public charging points and over 120 solar communities across the region.
