Discover Spain

Through Music

About Spain

Spain is a landscape defined by regional friction and sonic depth, moving from the percussive history of Andalusian flamenco to the classical and jazz evolutions in its metropolitan centers. Our journeys prioritize access to the people who maintain these living traditions—professional musicologists, instrument makers, and local performers who act as your anchors in each region.

While we navigate the established landmarks of Spanish culture—from the historic archives of Madrid to the architectural masterpieces of Catalonia—the core of your itinerary is built around the “private room” experience. We replace the standard tourist checklist with direct introductions to the practitioners of Spanish art.

Festivals

La Rioja Festival

In the northern stretch of Spain, where the Ebro River winds through quiet towns and vineyards, you’ll find a region known for its wine, hospitality, and a rhythm of life that moves with a certain calm. La Rioja has always had stories to tell.

For centuries, pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago have passed through Logroño, sharing songs, prayers, and moments of reflection along the way. Winemakers have tended their vines with the same dedication for generations. Families have kept traditions alive through fiestas, food, and the gentle pulse of their community life.

It’s in this environment—rich with history, warmth, and generosity—that the La Rioja Festival was born. What began as a dream to bring world-class classical music into everyday Rioja life has become one of Spain’s most distinctive cultural events. And at the center of that dream is acclaimed guitarist Pablo Sainz Villegas and the nonprofit that powers it all: Asociación Cuerdas en Común.

Barcelona Jazz Festival

The renowned Barcelona International Jazz Festival, an event that transforms the city’s nights into a grand stage of musical excellence.

Each fall, the festival becomes the highlight of Barcelona’s cultural calendar, showcasing a series of sold-out performances in venues as grand as the Palau de la Música Catalana and as intimate as neighborhood clubs and open-air stages.

Since its inception in 1966, inaugurated by a concert from Dave Brubeck, the festival has hosted historic performances by legends like Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Bebo Valdés, and Dexter Gordon.

Now in its 56th year, the festival maintains its distinctive local essence while presenting an expanded lineup of world-class artists.
