Musica a la Vila in El Vendrell

Band from Valencia

For those of you who are interested in visiting Barcelona and getting out of the city for the day, you can easily take the train to El Vendrell. Every Wednesday in August, there is this Música a la Vila festival, where traditional music from the Catalan countries is performed. This is provided free of charge and takes place in one of the town's many plazas.

Every week the music is different and this week we heard a Valencian band play traditional music with hand drum, banjo, cello, flute and other instruments. Pretty awesome.
