'Festival Espurnes Barroques'

In July 1998, a large forest fire devastated nearly 30,000 hectares of forest and crops in Solsonès, Bages, Noguera, Anoia and La Segarra. Twenty years after that disaster, in 2018, some sparks (espurnes) with a baroque dimension emerged.

Based in the Miracle Sanctuary (where the most exuberant altarpiece in Catalonia is preserved), supporting young talent and fully promoting the rural environment, Espurnes Barroques wants to put a heritage legacy full of surprises on the country's cultural map.

Espurnes Barroques offers high-quality musical experiences in baroque enclaves and unique landscapes of, above all, small municipalities in Central Catalonia. The performances, often self-produced, are always accompanied by a gastronomic tasting linked to the artistic proposal.

For four weekends in May and June, between green and gold, Espurnes Barroques programs a cultural marathon to delve - at a very affordable cost - into a true baroque festival, creating a unique privilege available to everyone.
