Calpe is preparing to host a captivating cultural event that celebrates history, harmony, and identity: at the beginning of July, the Casa de Cultura’s auditorium will welcome the prestigious Compañía Escénica y Vocal del Teatro Principal de Alicante for a special performance of their production, “Mediterráneas.”

Organised by the local Department of Culture, the concert is scheduled to begin at 8:00pm on July 3 and will be completely free to attend, with availability until full capacity is reached.

Celebrating shared heritage and timeless melodies

As a programme, “Mediterráneas” is not just a musical recital; it is a profound artistic work that will highlight the value of the musical heritage in Calpe and other seaside Mediterranean communities, with a particular focus on women in these communities.

The work celebrates “melodies and songs passed down from generation to generation, incorporating new musical inspirations and lyrics specific to the places they travelled through,” according to the Calpe Town Hall.

A heartfelt tribute to the role of women

This production will also honour the pivotal role that women have historically played as the primary guardians and transmitters of cultural traditions, preserving oral histories and keeping these beautiful melodies alive through the centuries. “Mediterráneas is also a tribute to women for their role in transmitting traditions and all these songs,” added the Calpe Town Hall.

The songs being showcased in this programme have travelled across time, across bloodlines, constantly gathering more musical inspiration and regional lyrics while remaining true to their essence.

Bringing a high-calibre performance from Alicante’s principal theatre to Calpe, the event promises to be an enriching evening that connects the past and the present. Whether you are a seasoned fan of traditional folk melodies, contemporary vocal arrangements, or simply looking to experience a meaningful tribute to Mediterranean roots, “Mediterráneas” offers a unique window into the shared cultural soul of the region.

Interested visitors can arrive before 8:00pm at Calpe’s auditorium; the earlier visitors arrive, the better in order to reserve their seats.

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.
