Portalblau Festival is unique for the singular beauty of its surroundings and the historic settings where its cultural activities take place. All events are held in places of historical interest: the imposing Fòrum Romà d'Empúries, an ancient meeting point, full of life and the nerve center of the Roman city; the Cementiri Mariner, declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest; and the recently renovated Clos del Pastor building, declared a Cultural Asset of Local Interest. All these spaces tell of the importance of the landscape as an indispensable part in social and cultural evolution; they represent the gateway of Greek and Roman culture to the Iberian Peninsula and the richness of the Mediterranean culture as a result of constant exchange.

The eclectic program includes music, dance, poetry, presentations, days of reflection and all kinds of artistic expressions aimed at a broad audience and presented in spaces of great historical richness and natural beauty. This year's lineup includes La Filadora, Mar Pujol, Nora Baylach, Anna Colom, Blaumut, Ramon Mirabet, Pau Vallvé and many more. The Portalblau Festival was born in summer 2008 in the village of L’Escala. Throughout all its editions, it has offered a wide range of high-quality cultural proposals and has counted with the participation of artists from all over the world.

Sensitive to the current situation and culturally and socially committed, the Festival also hosts a series of events to promote social and environmental values. The Festival seeks to create new audiences and discover new talent with a strong commitment to emerging local artists.

You can find the festival's full program on the Portalblau website.
