No Valle Luna festival but there is live music again

Keep an eye
out for posters!
Mainly due to the lack of support by the local administration and due to the many ludicrous regulations being enforced to the last letter, there's no Valle Luna festival this year. The popular event drew large crowds and many international entertainers in recent years, but sadly could not be repeated this year. 

However many musicians and visitors came all the same and there are plenty of low-key events taking place in several venues, as well as spontaneous street performances scattered throughout the lower parts of Valle Gran Rey.

 The recently taken images posted here show just a few of them.

5th Valle Luna Festival 2014

Despite all the odds and the total lack of support by the authorities, this year's edition of the Valle Luna Festival has attracted many musicians and visitors. Most accommodation in Valle Gran Rey is completely booked up for the duration of the festival. The popular event is on a much smaller scale this year, but music can be enjoyed free of charge in many places. Below are just a few impressions.
