The coastal town of Calpe is gearing up for an unforgettable night where music and visuals will merge. The show “Colores del Sonido,” or “Colours of Sound,” will transform the local auditorium of the Casa de la Cultura into a vibrant and multi-sensory experience, combining dynamic live music performances with custom light designs. This event will attract both locals and visitors looking for a fantastic evening show.

The programme, which will take place on Saturday, July 4, will begin at 9:00pm and will take attendees through an emotional journey with a setlist of some of the greatest hits in modern music history.

A journey through decades of musical icons

The live performers will breathe new life into legendary tracks across decades and many different genres. Audiences can look forward to hearing reimagined masterpieces from timeless icons like Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and Whitney Houston, alongside pop royalty like Michael Jackson, George Michael, and U2. The show will also bring forward hits from contemporary global superstars, featuring the chart-topping sounds of Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Billie Eilish, Rihanna, The Weeknd, and Shakira.

A synchronised fusion of light and technology

In addition to the music, a synchronised light show will illuminate the venue, matching the rhythm and emotional weight of each track to create an immersive, dreamlike atmosphere. It is an ideal summer plan for music lovers, families, and anyone looking to experience a unique night out on the Costa Blanca.

It is a show where music and light will combine and create an immersive sensory experience. Each song will boast its own visual language and colour palette, designed to reflect the emotion and energy of the music. The programme uses visual projection technology to envelop both the musicians and the audience, creating a unique experience; a concert designed to let audiences rediscover iconic songs.

How to get tickets and how much they cost

Tickets for the event start at €21 and can be bought online through the official ticketing partner, underthetree.es. There will be limited seating in the auditorium, so those who are interested in the show are encouraged to reserve their spots as soon as they can. Audiences are sure to love this immersive summertime show, in the charming coastal town of Calpe.

This July, the coastal town of Calpe will bring back one of its most beloved and anticipated summer traditions: the Cinema a la Mar programme, or Cinema by the Sea, is a free open-air film festival that transforms the town’s stunning sandy shores into a theatre lit by the stars.

Cinematic evenings under the stars

Running from Tuesday, July 7 through Thursday, July 23, the event will offer residents and visitors a way to spend their warm summer evenings, with their friends, family, and loved ones. Screenings will take place across some of Calpe’s most iconic beaches, including the bustling Playa de La Fossa and the expansive Playa del Arenal-Bol.

The movies will begin at 10:00pm, making for the perfect post-dinner plan after a relaxing day of soaking up the Spanish sun on the Costa Blanca. Moreover, the admission will be entirely free, with visitors needing to bring only a beach towel, a folding chair, and some snacks. This accessible activity will provide a community-centred atmosphere where residents and visitors alike can gather, socialise, and enjoy a pleasant evening, right on the coastline.

A diverse film lineup for the whole family

The films being showcased in the July edition range from action-adventures to comedy films, making for a perfect night to bring the little ones along. The films in this year’s edition of the programme include Sonic 3: The Movie, Policán, and El Especialista (The Specialist).

Weatherproof plans for stress-free viewing

Additionally, the unpredictable coastal weather will not stop the fun; if the evening becomes too windy or rainy, the screening will move to the nearby and sheltered Plaza Mayor, meaning that families and neighbours need not worry about checking their weather apps before going to see their movie.

Whether you are a seasoned film buff or simply looking to experience authentic local life on the Costa Blanca, Cinema a la Mar captures the very essence of a Mediterranean summer night. Grab your chair, find a spot on the sand, and enjoy the show.

In the scenic hills of Pedreguer, El Balcón de la Sella Restaurant & Lounge offers one of the most mesmerising dining settings in the Marina Alta region. Operating as the flagship culinary gem of the Syncrosfera Health Hotel Boutique, this standout venue has quickly earned a local reputation as a must-visit destination for residents and visitors alike, whether they are staying at the resort or simply nearby and in search of a hearty meal.

El Balcón de la Sella Restaurant & Lounge: Panoramic dining over the Costa Blanca

Without a doubt, the true star of the establishment is its breathtaking panoramic terrace. True to its name, which translates to “The Balcony” in English, it boasts dramatic views over the Costa Blanca landscape, making it a perfect escape for a warm summer evening and becoming a vibrant social hub for regulars. 

Additionally, every Saturday and Sunday night, the venue hosts live music sessions where acoustic sets and ambient tracks pair beautifully with craft cocktails, creating an exclusive, yet welcoming and friendly lounge vibe.

A varied menu with delicious international offerings

With a highly creative menu, the kitchen balances health-conscious wellness with pure Mediterranean indulgence. The menu is a playful exploration of land and sea, marked by international twists. Seafood lovers can dive into grilled octopus accented with parsnip parmentier and honey aioli, or fresh tuna marinated in a zesty Thai sauce alongside a surprising strawberry gazpacho. For something closer to home, the restaurant serves a spectacular duo of cocas (or traditional Valencian flatbreads), one featuring rich duck magret with a sweet local Mistela wine reduction.

Immersive cultural events to add to the night

El Balcón de la Sella is also celebrated for its highly immersive cultural events. From lively Latin nights under the stars to authentic Texan-style open-air barbecues with live country music, the venue turns dinner into an international experience. Merging breathtaking natural beauty, live entertainment, and creative cuisine, this Costa Blanca hotspot proves that a truly great restaurant is about much more than what is on the plate; it is also about the memories made around the table.
