Between February and March, lovely, crazy and impromptu jazz music floods the city.

The program includes lectures by jazz experts, such as Juan Claudio Cifuentes and concerts held in various bars. Each band normally plays three gigs on consecutive days due to the enormous popularity of the festival. Past performers have included Joaquín Chacón, Perico Sanbeat, José Mª Carles, Chano Domínguez and Carles Benavent. Nearly all the concerts cost 500 ptas (EUR 3).

The Jazz en la Calle (Jazz in the Streets) festival brings to town jazz concerts in the open air, free performances by the best musicians, and stages in the historic area of the city.
