The city still shows remarkably many signs of its history, the amphitheatre, a massive town wall and the pretty historical centre of Sagunto take you on a journey through time.
The Spanish Samba scene is incredibly energetic and spreads an impressive amount of power, creativity and love to Brazilian music, which has lead to its being one of the most active locations of European Samba festivals. The Percumon Festival has become well established in the past few years, for the first time, this year also Rio Samba has been included in their concept. Professional organisation promises an amazing programme with top activities, workshops with reknown Brazilian mestres, concerts, the obligatory parade and the gran finale - a showdown competition of batucadas in the Roman amphitheatre of Sagunto.

It will be an event for everybody, but especially for Samba Reggae fans!
