Jazz en la Costa Festival
2025 PROGRAM: Coming Soon
Organized by the Diputación de Granada and the Almuñécar City Council, Jazz en la Costa is a renowned event in Southern Europe, pioneering the fusion of culture and tourism. It is one of the most respected and internationally awarded jazz festivals and among the few bearing the European Union’s quality seal.
Set against a backdrop that faces Africa, in a historic heritage site beneath an ancient Arab fortress and next to Phoenician ruins, the festival benefits from the enchanting proximity of the Alboran Sea and the lush vegetation of the Costa Tropical.
Almuñécar’s mild climate allows for a unique concert experience in the botanical garden of Parque El Majuelo, home to 182 plant species from tropical regions worldwide, including Central and South America, Africa, Madagascar, China, India, Arabia, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands.
At the Phoenician fish-salting factory, visitors can observe labyrinth-like rooms, ancient vats where salted fish fillets were stored and transported in large amphorae across the Mediterranean, particularly to Carthage, Rome, and Corinth. Remnants of what may have been a grand temple dedicated to the goddess Minerva also stand here. A channel adjacent to the temple’s south wall once carried fresh water from the aqueduct to rinse the fish before salting.
Overlooking the festival’s open-air auditorium, designed by maestro Urrengoechea, stands the San Miguel Castle, shaped by the passage of different civilizations that have defined Almuñécar’s rich history.
Concerts begin at 10:00 PM (Doors open at 9:00 PM).
