The cultural and tourism initiative En Clave de RE-D has established itself as a hallmark in promoting roots music through seven cities and medieval towns located between Spain and Portugal. From its launch in April until its conclusion in September 2025, iconic locations such as Laguardia, Almazán, Marvão, and Estella have hosted concerts and festivals that have enriched the cultural offerings of these regions.
The sixth edition of En Clave de RE-D kicked off in Laguardia, where the Laguardia Musical Group, with a history spanning over a century, gave an emotional concert at the Chapel of the Pillar. Under the direction of Eduardo Moreno, attendees enjoyed a varied repertoire ranging from original pieces to recognizable melodies from films, creating a festive and family-friendly atmosphere.
In July, the International Music Festival of Marvão in Portugal became a magnet for over 15,000 visitors, who were treated to nearly forty cultural activities highlighting the natural and architectural heritage of the São Mamede Natural Park. This program, which fused classical works with innovative proposals, included tributes to contemporary composers, providing attendees with an enriching experience.
The Royal Wedding Days in Valencia de Alcántara also set a trend, featuring concerts of Sephardic and Moorish music that evoked medieval coexistence through its musical traditions. The town of Hondarribia, for its part, resonated with the chords of Basque choral singing, where Eskifaia Abesbatza captivated the audience in a historic setting.
September welcomed the 56th Week of Ancient Music (SMADE) in Estella, a festival celebrating the cultural legacy of Charles III the Noble, bringing together internationally renowned artists and reaffirming its social commitment by supporting young European talents.
The cycle will culminate in Sigüenza, where the group Lugh will present a Celtic music performance, promising to take attendees on a journey through European traditions. In this way, En Clave de RE-D is established as a link between history, music, and tourism, offering visitors memorable experiences in unique heritage settings.
