Would you like to know more about this event and what it has prepared for you in this edition? If the answer is yes, I invite you to keep reading.
The origins of ExpOtaku
It was born with the intention of being a meeting point for fans of otaku and geek culture. Its first edition was held in A Coruña in 2010, and since then, it has expanded its magic to different cities in Spain, such as Tarragona, Gijón, and, of course, Logroño joined this initiative with its own edition.
The original idea was to create a space where both veterans and new fans could enjoy activities, conferences, exhibitions, and competitions related to their passions.
Over the years, the event has not only grown in size but also in quality. Each edition offers something new, from international guests to unique workshops, without losing that close and friendly spirit that characterizes it.
