As usual, the Espinarian tournament will have a very complete out-of-competition program. From this edition, the traditional recognitions that the organization of the Tournament gives to athletes, events and members of the Castilian-Leonese civil society will take the name of Pedro Muñoz, founder of the Open and who died in 2020. The gala will be on Thursday, July 27, during the Official Cocktail of the Open Castilla y León Villa de El Espinar.
