Blessed with a beautiful wild coastline

The Costa Brava, lying to the north of Barcelona, is blessed with a beautiful, wild coastline flanked by rugged cliffs which create stunning little bays and sandy coves. The weather is reliably sunny and although popular with tourists the area still manages to retain its Spanish essence. The Costa Brava offers bustling seaside resorts and quiet fishing villages with an extensive choice of excursion possibilities.

Concerts

The venues on the Costa Brava tend to be outdoor ones such as the main squares in the medieval town of Peratallada and the beautiful village of Empuries.

In Barcelona, we have excellent relationships with several important churches, including the magnificent Cathedral. You can normally perform either as part of the Mass or in concert. Other interesting venues include the lighthouse in Tossa de Mar, the Ciutadella in Roses and the monastery of Besalu.

FAQs

Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

We work hard to generate excellent attendance at each concert, as we understand that an appreciative audience makes all the difference. We produce eye-catching posters and handbills, which are displayed and distributed in the environs of your concerts. We also advertise your concerts in online and hard copy local What’s On Guides as well as newspapers, by way of press releases. In addition, we invite local dignitaries, music societies and music students to your concerts. Last but not least, we provide you with posters for your concerts, which will be displayed in your coach and placed on your Club Europe poster board at your venue by your tour manager before each concert.

You should book your tour between 8-18 months in advance. This will give us time to find the best possible venues for your tour and you will have ample time for fundraising should you need to do so.
