The Casa Museo del Campesino hosted this event, which was also attended by Óscar Noda; the president of the Regulatory Council of the Designation of Origin Vinos de Lanzarote, Víctor Díaz, and the director of Sonidos Líquidos, Neftalí Acosta, among others.

Corujo highlighted the essence of the festival, stating that "more proposals of this type, in all fields, are what Lanzarote needs." "Those that allow us to enjoy the environment and, at the same time, highlight the great environmental quality of our landscapes and the need for their conservation," he added.

For his part, Óscar Noda, expressed the importance of "the implementation of cultural initiatives with diverse approaches, which promote the local economy, the care of the environment and the development of the community." "All this is supported by the recognitions of the festival, which in turn position La Geria, and the municipality of Yaiza, in the international arena," he clarifies.

The director stressed that "after twelve editions, "Sonidos Líquidos" has managed to consolidate itself as the most sustainable festival in the Canary Islands." "Our goal is to continue maintaining this position."

For this reason, "we continue to incorporate every year new features that respect the environment, such as the reduction of capacity," he says. In this way, "we prioritize quality over quantity and improve the user experience."

For this reason, the organization enables a parking lot at the entrance of the town of Yaiza, from where departures to the stage will be made every 20 or 30 minutes.
