Serrat will be presented in the main hall of Fine Arts on days 7, 9, 14, 16 and 17 of February. He will soon sing in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Tenerife to begin the Latin American part of the tour in the Dominican cities of Santiago de los Caballeros and Santo Domingo, and in the Puerto Rican San Juan.
