Portal Blau

Portalblau is a festival that celebrates the Mediterranean as a space for encounter, light and critical thinking. Between sea and history, music, the performing arts and the spoken word engage in dialogue with the landscape, making each edition an experience that connects creativity, heritage and community. The programme features a diverse range of events in venues of great heritage value.

Beyond the artistic programme, Portalblau is a project with values. Against a backdrop of social change and global challenges, the festival views culture as a tool for reflection and collective construction. Sustainability, inclusion and equality are embodied in initiatives such as Valors i Compromís and the Xarxa Portalblau.

Portalblau, a radically human festival.

As part of this journey, the festival is taking a step forward and launching a pioneering project: the Guide to incorporating a gender perspective into festival organisation.
