Costa Brava
From Pineda De Mar you can discover the stunning coastline of the Costa Brava, with its lively resorts and expansive beaches, it’s ideal for relaxing and soaking up the summer sunshine. A short excursion to Barcelona allows your band to take in Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia and Parc Güell, as well as the bars, restaurants and cafés situated along the famous Las Ramblas. The combination of a warm climate, coastal ambience and many great concert locations ensures your Costa Brava experience is thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Where to Play
Poble Espanyol
Located on Montjuic Hill in Barcelona, Poble Espanyol is one of our favourite venues and is the ideal way to combine a day in the city with an excellent concert.
Seafront at Tossa De Mar
Late night concerts in this busy tourist resort take place along the promenade in the shadow of the castle ruins, which are beautifully illuminated at night.
Pineda de Mar – Placa de les Melies
This shady tree-lined square attracts a welcoming crowd of locals and tourists to the town’s series of early evening “aperitif” concerts.
What to Do
In Barcelona
La Sagrada Familia - Gaudí’s extraordinary unfinished temple. Whilst still under construction, its imposing towers are probably the most famous symbol of Barcelona.
