Throughout the weekend, the municipality became the epicenter of flamenco and rumba in the province, with a program that attracted audiences of all ages and invigorated local hospitality and commerce. The festival, promoted by the Onda City Council, reaffirms its growth within the cultural calendar.
The Councilor for Culture, Daniel Álvaro, highlighted the focus on a more intimate format, concentrating the main stages in a single space like the Raval de Sant Josep. "We have managed to have the audience share and experience the festival in a much closer way, supporting the artists in each performance," he stated.
The lineup combined renowned national artists, tribute shows, and local talent. On Friday, De Calle and a tribute to Camela opened the festival. On Saturday, Los Makis headlined the afternoon 'tardeo' in Plaza del Almudín, followed by Desde Dentro and Efraín, and the anticipated concert by La Cabra Mecánica. The night concluded with a DJ Flamenco set.
Sunday was marked by a more family-friendly atmosphere with a free children's flamenco workshop at La Font de Dins and performances by De Jaleo and Isra Maldonado. The group Una y nos vamos, led by former bullfighter Fran Rivera, provided the grand finale.
Beyond its cultural success, the festival provided a significant boost to the local economy. The influx of visitors directly benefited the municipality's hospitality sector and local businesses. Daniel Álvaro emphasized that "investing in culture energizes the city, fosters job creation, and revitalizes the socioeconomic fabric, in addition to reinforcing Onda's tourist appeal."
