PUIGCERDÀ MUSIC FESTIVAL 2023
SURROUNDINGS
People have the perception that only human beings sing songs and create music. If they paid closer attention and listened, they would find out that nature creates music on its own, sometimes utilizing the same scales, rhythms, and harmonies, as humans do.
PUIGCERDA
Puigcerdà [ˌpujsərˈða]) is the capital of the Catalan Comarca of Cerdanya, in the province of Girona, Catalonia, northern Spain, near the river Segre and the border with France.
