History

The origins of the castle and the botanical garden of Cap Roig, where the festival takes place, date back to 1927. They were built and designed by the Russian colonel Nicolai Woevodsky, fond of drawing and architecture, and his wife Dorothy Webster, aristocrat English, decorator and amateur archeology and gardening. This couple left their life in London to build their dreams in this unique place by the sea.[4]

The Cap Roig Festival is held in summer, being the most important event on the Costa Brava. The direction and artistic production of Cap Roig takes great names every year of music and dance in the castle and the botanical garden. In 2007, the British newspaper The Independent ranked him second in a list of the 10 best summer festivals.[5] The 17th edition, held in 2017, broke the attendance record with 46,316 viewers, which sold out 20 of the 27 scheduled concerts.[3]
