Spain and Portugal for Visitors

Summer Friday-night jazz in a town near Barcelona may be enjoyable, but it is hardly a festival.

Major festival, held in various locations throughout the Canary Isles.

Spain's most prestigious jazz festival, San Sebastian, now called Jazzaldia.

Small, sporadic (one concert a week throughout August, on different days), but quality festival.

Large-scale festival in Barcelona, sponsored by the brewery San Miguel, bless their little cotton socks.

Held in the Benedictine monastery of Sant Feliu de Guíxols, and including classical music and dance as well as jazz.

Sweet little four-day festival in Valencia.

One of the top two in Spain.
