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

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.
The most pleasant times of year to come to Europe are May to September, therefore you may wish to consider this when planning your tour. Summer temperatures across Europe range from 18-35 degrees Celsius. European cities in winter can also offer many interesting cultural experiences that you may enjoy.
We understand that school music tours are considered as a reward or holiday for many groups and that where you stay is really important. All hotels and hostels we use are suitable for young music ensembles with many offering rehearsal space and instrument storage. Rooms are normally multi-bedded for students and twins, sometimes singles, for adults. Generally, rooms are en-suite.
