The design of the poster was made by the artist Sonia Navarro and shows in the central part a photograph of Puerto Lumbreras in the nineties, which was taken by herself.

According to the artist, "the stitched patchwork shapes that are on top of the image represent, as is usual in my works, the reclaiming of the household chores that the women of our family have taught us, so that the sewing and the good to do ".

"The two upper parts represent the two sides of the town, united by a point that is the bridge, a link between the two areas of the town separated by the ravine of Nogalte. In addition, the lower part appears in earth and green colors making reference to the streams that form in the rambla in the rainy season, "explained Sonia Navarro.

The Mayor has praised the work done by the artist and stressed that "Sonia Navarro has become a reference within the culture and art at regional and national level."
