During the last International Tourism Fair FITUR, the<br />
president of the Provincial Council and Costa del Sol<br />
Tourism, Francisco Salado, stressed that music festivals<br />
"are important sources of attraction for tourists to our<br />
province and contribute to the generation of wealth in all<br />
areas".<br />
The Malaga Festival was the starting signal for what<br />
promises to be a great season. It is essential to take into<br />
account the proliferation and success of festivals,<br />
concerts and musical events that we will be able to enjoy<br />
over the coming months. The best of each house has its<br />
day marked on the calendar.<br />
Starlite Occident Marbella is one of the best boutique<br />
festivals in the world. After twelve editions it can be<br />
considered the longest running with more than 60 days of<br />
concerts per season.<br />
Music, culture and gastronomy coexist in the Starlite<br />
space. A unique event for those who want to enjoy close<br />
and intimate concerts in an incomparable place. Its<br />
programme includes options for all audiences, ages and<br />
musical tastes.<br />
Its uniqueness lies in the place where it is held: a quarry<br />
on the hillside of La Concha, between rock walls over 60<br />
metres high, which provides perfect acoustics worthy of<br />
such prodigious voices as those of Plácido Domingo, Julio<br />
Iglesias and Sting, among others. This summer's season<br />
will open in June. Attendees will be able to enjoy<br />
performances as genuine as Jamie Cullum, Simple Minds,<br />
Take That or Hombres G, among other national and<br />
international artists.<br />
A few kilometres away we find the Marenostrum<br />
Fuengirola concert series, which this year celebrates its<br />
ninth edition. It is a space where culture and music merge<br />
to offer the public a unique experience on the shores of<br />
the Mediterranean Sea and sheltered by the Sohail<br />
Castle. This venue has hosted such outstanding artists as<br />
Jennifer López, Ricky Martin, Robbie Williams and Nicky<br />
Jam among others.<br />
This venue has managed to establish itself as a national<br />
reference for holding concerts, receiving performances<br />
that only take place in the large venues of Madrid or<br />
Barcelona.<br />
Other musical events not to be missed are the Galaxy<br />
Sound Malaga, in mid-May, with the participation of more<br />
than fifteen national artists. And the 101 Music Festival<br />
Costa del Sol, an event that takes place throughout the<br />
summer in Malaga's bullring, making the capital a<br />
reference point for live music.<br />
Reggaeton Beach Festival, at the beginning of July;<br />
Brisa Festival Malaga, which returns to the Port of<br />
Malaga for its 4th edition at the end of July. We highlight<br />
others such as Oasisis Marbella Fest and Bella Festival<br />
Marbella which, together with Ojeando, which takes<br />
place at the end of June in the municipality of Ojén, the<br />
Puro Latino Fest Torremolinos and Canela Party, add<br />
to the wide range of concerts on offer until the end of<br />
August.<br />
