The festival takes place between 5 July and 15 August in the auditorium of the Botanical Gardens of Caixa Girona near Calella de Palafrugell, the tickets are still on sale.  See the Cap Roig Festival website for the lineup, prices and for bookings. (www.festival.caproig.cat)

If you fancy a experiencing how the Spanish like to party then a number of our holiday villas will be highly suitable.

With superb views across the surrounding countryside and out towards the sea, the house is just 3km from the sandy beaches in the villages of Tamariu and Llafranc.
