The Costa Brava captivates visitors not only with its beaches and landscapes, but also with a calendar of events that combines art, music and unique spectacles. Throughout the year, towns and cities come alive with celebrations that reflect the Mediterranean essence of the region. Among the highlights are the Quick Painting Competition in Tossa de Mar, the International Habanera Festival in Calella de Palafrugell and the Blanes International Fireworks Competition.

International Habanera Festival in Calella de Palafrugell: music by the sea

The International Habanera Festival is one of the most iconic events on the Costa Brava. Held in Calella de Palafrugell, it brings together national and international choirs in a magical setting by the sea. Traditional sailors’ songs, accompanied by the sound of the waves, create a unique atmosphere that attracts music lovers from all over the world.
