Spain's coast turns into one big open-air stage in summer. Castles, quarries, Roman amphitheatres and beachfront stadiums host everything from international rock and pop tours to jazz, indie and flamenco festivals. Marbella's Starlite, Fuengirola's castle concerts, Benidorm's Low Festival, the jazz festivals of the Murcia and Granada coasts — there's serious live music within easy reach of most resorts, often under the stars. Here's what's on and where to get tickets while you're visiting.
