Founded in 1987 out of the love of music of its president, Carmen Mateu, the Festival Castell de Peralada is regarded as one of the major arts events of the summer.
Together with its gardens, the medieval Castell de Peralada is the setting of Festival during the months of July and August. History and prestige identify the Festival which, both for its artistic events and for the exceptional nature of the setting in which it is staged, place this medieval town as the cultural and leisure centre of the summer nights of the Costa Brava.
