Music lovers should head for the Formentera Jazz Festival this summer. The beautiful Balearic island will host emerging and established artists for four days in June. The programme features local, Spanish and international performers.
The island has attracted artists as well as holidaymakers over the decades so it seems inevitable that it would have a jazz festival.
Launched in 2015, the festival is a unique musical event that encapsulates the inherent beauty of the island, as well as the freedom that epitomises jazz.
