Wind Band Tours in Spain

Custom performance tours and choral festivals in Spain since 1995

Proud of organizing custom concert tours for Wind Symphonies, Concert and Marching Bands in Spain and Portugal.

Spain has a long tradition of Music, especially with wind instruments and marching bands. Valencia is one the most traditional regions in Spain, where every single village has a local band and towns are divided into two bands that half of its population proudly plays in one of them. These music societies are among the oldest in Europe, and Valencia celebrates the oldest international band competition in Europe during the month of June each year.

Most of our concert tours for Bands are tailored, where we adjust to the number of days available for each performance group, to the number of concerts they want to play, and the cities they want to visit.

Wind Band Tours

The Iberian peninsula is big and we recommend choosing an area to tour for a week or 10 days, with 3 to 5 concerts on average.

Here are some favorite starters.  Once you know the route your ensemble will be particularly interested in, let us know so we can send you a more detailed proposal!

Using Malaga as the best Gateway, we will suggest our best routes and concerts

Andalusia is almost one-third of the Iberian peninsula, the southern part. Cities such as Granada, Malaga, Ronda, Sevilla, Cadiz or Cordoba are all unique.

Marching Parades in Spain

Spain celebrates numerous fiestas all year round from early Spring till the end of Autumn every year. But every year´s calendar opens with the Cabalgata de Reyes during Epiphany (   January 5th), where almost every city in Spain celebrates the parade of the Three Kings.

Then comes our Mardi Gras,  our local Carnaval in mid/end of February, where the tradition of Carnaval is celebrated with “desfiles” (parades), fleets, music for over a week. Cities such as  Cadiz,  Sitges or the Canary Islands ( Tenerife of Las Palmas) are a must to see and a unique opportunity for your ensemble to march. Other cities such as the medieval ones like Toledo or  Segovia do celebrate parades through the medieval streets.

March opens the fiesta time in Spain with Las Fallas festival in Valencia and its province, for almost three intense weeks but particularly the week before  March 19th, the fiesta of San Jose, patron saint of Valencia. These festivals are a break during the Lint period and as a catholic tradition country, we must wait few more weeks until  Easter and the Holy Week, where all the cities organize the religious parades were brotherhoods march with musicians and volunteers hanging on their shoulders the beautiful images of the Madonna and Jesus through its narrow streets.

Shortly after the city of Sevilla opens with the Feria de Abril the fiesta calendar that runs until the middle of October in Zaragoza.  During that period is when every city or small town celebrates the majority of its local festivities in honour to their patron saints and Madonna.
