Founded in 1970, the festival has always been a meeting point for styles and trends, for established artists and emerging talents, and for concerts for both small and large audiences. From baroque to electronic music. These concerts will take place in different areas of the town: on the Cadaqués promenade, in Portixó, in the Place du^1er octobre, in the church of Santa Maria, on Sa Conca or in Portlligat. Here too, a gastronomic area showcases local products.

Since 1958, this multidisciplinary festival (music, theatre, dance, etc.) is intended to be Catalan, Mediterranean and European, and welcomes the great names of the national and international scene, as well as emerging talents. It also offers complementary activities that take place in the halls, but also in the street and in the squares. One of the most important events of the summer on the Costa Brava. You can consult the year's programme on its website and book your tickets there.

As soon as the evening comes, the beautiful setting of the cloister of the former Sant Domènec convent (a Romanesque building dating from the 12th and 13th centuries) hosts classical music concerts, as well as presentations of more traditional music such as the sardana or habanera and dance performances. You can find the full programme of concerts, all of which are free of charge, on the website of the Peralada town council.

Founded at the beginning of the ^21st century, the Sant Pere de Rodes music festival offers a prestigious program of classical music (piano and chamber music). Concerts take place inside the monastery, in a prestigious setting. For its twentieth anniversary, it welcomed Chinese pianist Haiou Zhang. At the same time, El Port de la Selva holds its own festival: three concerts in the church of Santa Maria de les Neus.

Since 1991, the town of Castelló d'Empúries has also returned to the Middle Ages, becoming the former capital of the County of Empúries for a weekend.

It began in 1981 with a few concerts held in emblematic buildings in Torroella de Montgrí. Nowadays, the International Classical Music Festival is held in various places in the town, such as the Gothic church of Sant Genis, the Augustinian convent or the charming Plaça de la Vila, and it welcomes great performers, philharmonic orchestras, groups of ancient music and world music performers.

It was born in 2014, with the aim of taking over the torch carried by the off section of the Torroella festival but also to become a must in this field throughout the Costa Brava. The concerts take place in the Plaça de l'Església. And new since 2015, the Molinet, a small viewpoint at the end of the passeig maritim, hosts emerging jazz groups, all from internationally recognised schools, including French schools.

It is one of the most prestigious summer festivals in the Mediterranean, in terms of music and dance. Every year, it welcomes national and international stars: Rod Steward, Santana, Sting, Lady Gaga, Elton John... have already taken over the incomparable setting. Located in the heart of the botanical garden, facing the sea, the stage can accommodate over 2,100 people. As it is a must, it is better to book well in advance and take precautions to succeed in parking.
