On July 3, one of Spain’s most prestigious summer events, the Cap Roig Festival, kicks off on the Costa Brava coast in Calella de Palafrugell. Running through August 18, international and local music stars will gather in one of the Mediterranean's most significant botanical gardens.
The festival venue spans a unique 17-hectare natural space where a striking historic castle and a breathtaking botanical garden harmoniously blend together. The open-air stage overlooking the sea accommodates just 2,137 spectators. This limited capacity gives the event an exclusive character and creates an incredibly intimate, premium environment for the audience.
