This year the Jazz International Festival Vejer has come back stronger than ever! 5 and 6 of July, through the streets of Vejer de la Frontera you could hear jazz with some flamenco notes and feel the magic of Cadiz.
The IV edition of the Jazz International Festival Vejer opens its doors
Only a few could enjoy this contest that is unlike any other. As its organizers, Nacho Corral and Paco Muñoz, have explained it is “an intimate festival of small capacity, but very open in its proposals that mixes quality music with a setting full of magical places”. This year, Jazz Vejer came back stronger than ever. With the aim of providing content in the mornings and afternoons of the festival and thus encourage the incredible gastronomic offer of Vejer, Jazz Vejer, with the collaboration of some hoteliers, launched the Gastrojazz, a way to enjoy live music and gastronomy.
Visitors had the opportunity to complete their musical experience in any of the fantastic local restaurants.
