2024 report by by Chris Chaplow

Pueblos Blancos Music Festival returns to the hills of Andalucia for the ninth time, taking place over four days across various towns and villages in the region. The festival’s range and variety allow guests to experience small, hidden gems that they might not otherwise experience when visiting the south of Spain, from Arab-founded towns such as Jimera de Libar to historic landmarks in Ronda. The festival provides an opportunity to immerse oneself in Spanish life and culture among local people, all while enjoying music from across the globe.
