Peralada isn’t just an idyllic town in the Costa Brava where many go to get away from the hustle and bustle of larger cities, but in the summer it is also home to one of the most important culture and music festivals in the whole of Catalonia. From the 6th of July to the 15th of August, the town celebrates the festival Castell Peralada, an event where complete cultural enrichment takes centre stage.

The festival has been known to put on all kinds of shows, but this edition will focus on classical music and opera. During the month of July and the first 15 days of August, you can enjoy breath-taking performances from critically acclaimed national and international artists devoted to all types of performing arts: theatre, dance, music, etc… The most spectacular shows will be courtesy of the St. Petersburg Ballet Mariïnski troupe (one of the best dance companies in the world), the Montserrat Caballé tribute act, the Pink Martini group, Cirque Éloize (one of the most famous circus acts in the world), and above all, international superstar Jessie J, who will perform at the festival on the 12th of August. With no doubt, it would be an amazing experience that you can enjoy with your whole family.

After the incredible success the festival has had year after year, in 2019 the event will also be held in the cities of Girona and Figueres, giving visitors the chance to enjoy a great variety of spectacular concerts and theatre performances.

Don’t forget to check out the festival programme online, so that you don’t miss out on any of the superb performances. You can also buy tickets to the festival for each individual act, prices varying according to who is performing.
