The Musica del Mar International Festival & Competition takes place on the beautiful Costa Brava in the vibrant seaside town of Lloret de Mar. This international event brings together performers from around the world in a dynamic and inspiring musical environment.
The festival culminates in a spectacular Gala Concert and Awards Ceremony held in the stunning Villa Vella castle in Tossa de Mar, a unique 12th-century fortress overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Organised by Fiestalonia, one of Europe’s leading festival organisers, this event combines high-level competition with cultural exchange, performance opportunities, and the chance to experience the rich atmosphere of Spain’s coastline.
