MUSIC IN THE PYRENEES

After two years without being held due to the pandemic, the International Festival of South Pyrenees Cultures returns

from July 15 to August 6

with big names in music (from Rozalén to Tanxugueiras passing through Estopa, Robe and Nathy Peluso, among many others) .

Although for many, the greatest spectacle is in the setting: a

floating stage

in the middle of

the Lanuza reservoir

with the summit of Peña Foratata as a backdrop.

All this is combined with the infinity of activities offered by the Tena Valley, in the heart of the Huesca Pyrenees, from hiking to canoeing or other adventure sports.

myths and sea breeze: COSTA BRAVA

The S'Agaró coastal path.

The blue flag trails are outlined following the whims of our entire coast and already form a network of more than 500 kilometers.

The

coastal path of S'Agaró

, the Noucentista-style garden city on the Costa Brava, is one of the most seductive examples.

The fetén section is between Sant Pol beach and Sa Conca beach.

Right at the beginning stands the historic

Hostal de La Gavina,

which this year celebrates 90 years of life and myth.

It is one of those hotels that conquered Liz Taylor and make anyone fall in love.

It is worth knowing.

Culture and orchard in LA RIBERA DE NAVARRA

If taking a tour of a cathedral seems to you the antithesis of provocation, it is because you have not yet visited

Santa María de Tudela

, the imposing and extremely interesting temple in the capital of Ribera de Navarra.

Tudela is a box of surprises: its Jewish quarter, its urban art, the pedigree of its orchard... As if that were not enough, very close we find that extraterrestrial landscape shaped by wind and water that is the Bardenas Reales.

For those who do not want to spend the whole summer on the beach.

WEIGHTS FOR 'FOODIES'

The hotel in Lastres.

It is a

beautiful

town and to verify it, all you have to do is go to the

San Roque viewpoint

, from which you can see the entire fishing village with the sea in the background and, on clear days, the Sueve mountain range and even the Picos de Europa.

You can't eat badly in

Asturias

, but one option if you visit and/or stay at the Palacio de Luces, on the outskirts of Lastres, is to do so at his restaurant, led by chef Nacho García Canellada and with a new menu this season with protagonism of the Asturian orchard.
