Moraira prepares for return of popular summer music festival beside the castle
Moraira is preparing for the return of its annual summer music festival, one of the Costa Blanca North’s most popular open-air cultural events, which will once again bring live performances to the seafront area beside Moraira Castle.
The festival, expected to take place during June, traditionally attracts residents, tourists and music lovers from across the Marina Alta region with a programme combining live concerts, Mediterranean scenery and summer nightlife in the heart of the coastal town. Set against the backdrop of Moraira Castle and the town’s waterfront promenade, the event has become known for its relaxed atmosphere and evening performances that continue late into the night during the start of the summer season.
Open-air concerts attract visitors every year
The music festival forms part of Moraira’s wider summer cultural calendar and has grown steadily in popularity in recent years, particularly among visitors looking for entertainment beyond the beach tourism typically associated with the Costa Blanca.
Concerts are usually held outdoors in the central seafront area, allowing audiences to enjoy live music with views across the Mediterranean coast.
The event regularly features a mix of musical styles and performers, helping create a broad appeal among different age groups and international visitors living in or travelling through the region.
Local businesses, restaurants and bars also benefit from the increased footfall generated by the festival during the early summer weeks.
Costa Blanca towns continue expanding cultural tourism
Events such as the Moraira Music Festival form part of a wider trend across Costa Blanca towns seeking to strengthen year-round tourism through cultural programming, gastronomy and live entertainment.
Municipalities throughout the Marina Alta increasingly use festivals and open-air events to attract visitors outside the peak holiday months while improving the cultural offering available to residents.
Moraira has become particularly known for combining tourism with smaller-scale cultural experiences that maintain the town’s relaxed coastal identity.
With summer now approaching, organisers are expected to release additional programme details and performance schedules in the coming weeks as preparations continue for another busy
Denia is preparing to welcome a new contemporary art exhibition this spring as artist Ramón Puig de la Bellacasa Alberola presents his latest collection, titled “Errancias”, at the Sala Gran of the Casa de Cultura.
The exhibition will officially open on Wednesday, May 28, at 7pm and will remain available to the public until June 13. Visitors will be able to explore the collection from Monday to Friday between 11am and 2pm and again from 5pm to 9pm. On Saturdays, the exhibition will open from 10am until 1.30pm.
Contemporary art arrives at Casa de Cultura
Organisers say “Errancias” will feature a selection of works exploring themes connected to movement, reflection and personal interpretation through contemporary artistic expression.
The exhibition is expected to offer visitors an immersive and thought-provoking experience, with the artist using different visual approaches to encourage emotional and personal responses from the audience.
Casa de Cultura has become one of Denia’s key cultural spaces, regularly hosting exhibitions, theatre performances, concerts and community events throughout the year. The venue continues to attract both local artists and touring exhibitions as the city strengthens its reputation as an important cultural hub in the Marina Alta region.
Denia expands its cultural programme
Local authorities say exhibitions such as “Errancias” form part of a wider effort to support regional artists while expanding Denia’s cultural calendar for both residents and visitors.
In recent years, the city has significantly increased its programme of spring and summer cultural activities, with exhibitions, live music events and artistic performances taking place across multiple venues throughout the municipality.
The initiative also reflects growing interest in cultural tourism across the Costa Blanca, where municipalities are increasingly combining traditional tourism with art, gastronomy and community-focused events to attract visitors outside the peak summer season.
The exhibition will be free to attend throughout its run.
Teulada-Moraira will host a large charity choir concert on Sunday, May 31, bringing together several choral groups and conservatories from across the Marina Alta region for an evening dedicated to music and solidarity. The “Concierto Benéfico Coral de Primavera” will take place at the Auditori Teulada Moraira at 8.30pm, with tickets priced at €11 and limited seating available.
The event forms part of the municipality’s wider cultural programme and is expected to attract music lovers from across the Costa Blanca North. The concert is also expected to attract international residents living across the Costa Blanca North who regularly attend cultural events and live music performances organised throughout the Marina Alta region.
Choirs and conservatories unite for charity
According to organisers, the concert will feature the participation of several choirs and music conservatories from towns throughout the Marina Alta, continuing a tradition of collaborative spring performances linked to charitable causes.
The Auditori Teulada Moraira has increasingly positioned itself as one of the region’s most important cultural venues, regularly hosting concerts, theatre productions and musical festivals throughout the year.
Local authorities and organisers said events such as the spring choir concert help strengthen community ties while supporting cultural life in the municipality.
Cultural calendar continues expanding
The charity concert forms part of a busy spring and summer programme in Teulada-Moraira that includes concerts, theatre, sporting events and the upcoming Moros y Cristianos celebrations in June.
Costa Blanca municipalities continue investing heavily in cultural tourism and live events aimed at attracting visitors outside the peak holiday season.
The Auditori Teulada Moraira has become a central part of that strategy, drawing audiences from across Alicante province with performances ranging from classical music and choir concerts to contemporary productions and international artists.
Organisers are encouraging residents and visitors to reserve tickets in advance due to limited capacity at the auditorium.

Calp’s annual Piano Festival will conclude on Friday, May 29, with a free performance by internationally recognised Hungarian pianist István I. Székely at the Casa de Cultura Auditorium.
The concert will begin at 8pm and marks the grand finale of the third edition of the Calp Piano Festival, a cultural programme that throughout May has brought internationally acclaimed classical musicians to the Costa Blanca town.
Organised by Calp Town Hall’s Department of Culture, the festival has continued growing in popularity and is increasingly positioning itself as one of the Costa Blanca North’s most notable classical music events.
International performers brought world-class music to Calp
This year’s programme has featured performances by several internationally recognised pianists, including Jean-Paul Gasparian, Congyu Wang and Zee Zee.

Concerts have been held at the Casa de Cultura Auditorium with free entry available until full capacity is reached, helping attract audiences from across the Marina Alta region.
Hungarian pianist István I. Székely, who will close the festival on May 29, is known internationally for his interpretations of both classical and contemporary repertoire.
Cultural events continue expanding across Costa Blanca North
The Calp Piano Festival forms part of a wider effort by municipalities across the Costa Blanca North to strengthen cultural tourism and diversify local entertainment programmes throughout the year. In recent years, Calp has increasingly invested in cultural events, concerts and exhibitions aimed at attracting both residents and visitors outside the peak holiday season.
Local authorities believe events such as the Piano Festival help improve the town’s image as a destination that offers more than traditional beach tourism while supporting local businesses and hospitality sectors. The closing concert is expected to attract classical music enthusiasts from across Alicante province as the festival completes another successful edition on the Costa Blanca coast.
