The beach of San Juan de los Terreros is the stage for the XV Festival Provincial de Bandas de Música, with 2,600 musicians participating in 53 bands. The bands will be playing from Thursday to Sunday during the last two weeks of July.
The bands are not pop bands but municipal bands of the type that accompany the virgin in processions at Easter or this week during the Virgen del Carmen fiestas in many fishing towns. This year the bands of Turre and Alcolea are participating for the first time. Almeria has a particularly strong tradition of this kind of band and they are very popular among the young people of the towns and villages of the province.
The festival starts July 17 and the last day will be July 27.
