The small town of Letux, with a population of just over 300, will welcome both locals and visitors to experience a diverse and engaging program. Attendees will explore the town’s cultural heritage, walking through its narrow streets, discovering its cul-de-sacs, and admiring houses dating back to the Islamic conquest.

The town’s rich history includes archaeological remains from the Celtiberian population of Bernama and a palace from the era of the powerful Marquis of Lazán. This historic building will serve as a backdrop for the concerts, which will also take place in unique natural settings such as the Ojos del Prado, natural water springs surrounded by nature.

Through these various attractions, the festival aims to rediscover and celebrate Letux’s heritage with a fresh perspective through music.
