Festival Dos Abrazos in Santiago

The Festival Dos Abrazos is the first annual summer festival of Gallician music, dance, multimedia and performance art, the intention of the festival is to rediscover less frequently traveled spaces of the city through outdoor art and performance.
Highlights thus far include a midnight experimental jazz concert against the backdrop of illuminated stone sculptures and avant-garde dance performances set in less inhabited areas of the city.

Although an initiative of most, rare is a festival that provides such a deep and generous slice of what a region has to offer beneath its tourist-friendly facade.
