Organisers and venues can claim Guadiana International Music Festival 2026 free of charge to manage the listing, add photos and tickets, and host it under their business.
Planning to attend? No claim needed. Just mark yourself as going.
The Guadiana International Music Festival brings blues, folk, jazz, fado and flamenco to the riverside for a free three-day weekend that spans both banks of the border river. Afternoon sets often cross into Sanlucar de Guadiana on the Spanish side, with the evening programme moving to the Alcoutim quay.
Run by international residents in the area in cooperation with the Camara Municipal de Alcoutim, the festival draws more than 20 performances across two stages, including the main stage and the Cais Stage. Sunday keeps things loose with open-mic sessions for anyone who wants to get up and play.
It is one of the few festivals that treats the Guadiana as a shared stage rather than a border, and it remains free to attend throughout.
