The Bajo/Baix Cinca region will host a double musical event on the last weekend of August, full of music and tradition, connecting the province of Huesca with the Terres de l'Ebre and the province of Burgos.
On Friday, August 28th, the Valonga Estate in Belver de Cinca will host a performance by El Nido . This band from Burgos will present their new LP at the SoNna Huesca La Constancia festival . It offers a truly unique vision of traditional Castilian-Leonese music through modern eyes and ears, while maintaining its vital, moving, and increasingly daring essence.
On Sunday the 30th, the La Sierra de Ballobar Forest Park will host Terrae (Catalonia) , a duo formed by Andreu Peral and Genís Bagés.

The 7th Sounds in Nature Festival will visit eight new locations this year, bringing the total number of places visited in its seven editions to 112.
The seventh edition of the Sounds in Nature Festival, SoNna Huesca 2026, will unveil eight new locations that, for the first time, will serve as a stage for the fusion of culture and nature. These are magical or special places, perhaps unknown to the general public, which the Huesca Provincial Council's event will, in some cases, help to "put on the map." By the end of SoNna Huesca 2026, the festival will have visited a total of 112 locations in the Alto Aragón region over its seven editions, thus becoming the best guide to accessible nature in the province of Huesca.
The Sounds in Nature Festival (SoNna) will once again tour the ten districts of Alto Aragón this summer with a traveling event that is unparalleled in the cultural world. “One of SoNna’s greatest strengths is its ability to transform each concert into a discovery experience,” explains Carlos Sampériz, the Provincial Council of Huesca’s (DPH) Deputy for Culture. “There are places in the province that many people might not know about if the festival didn’t include them in its itinerary, and that has enormous value for our rural areas,” Sampériz adds. “SoNna not only brings culture to the villages: it also puts unique places on the map, sparks curiosity to visit them, and helps reinforce pride in a province full of extraordinary corners. The fact that SoNna has reached 112 visited locations in just seven editions is a spectacular figure, but above all, it proves that this festival offers much more than just music,” the deputy summarized.
Eight debut spaces
This year the festival will discover venues such as the Los Olmos Park in Binéfar, the amphitheater of the Canfranc international station, the Church of San Martín de Ordovés (Sabiñánigo), the church of the Ascension of the Lord of Aquilué (Caldearenas), the hermitage of the Vineyard of Loporzano, the Edra Winery in Ayerbe, the Domingo Subías Sculpture Garden in Laspaúles or the hermitage of Our Lady of Treviño, in Adahuesca; all of them debuting in the festival, which join other regulars such as the Carrasca de Larredán, El Cornato in Pineta (Bielsa), the Llanos de Planduviar (Broto), the CDAN (Huesca) or the Vicente Baldellou space in Alquézar; or others that are repeated for the first or second time such as Borda Juan Ramón in Aísa, Finca Valonga (Belver de Cinca), the Fraella fountain (Grañén) or the Paseo del Sifón in Albelda, to cite some examples.
The first venue to debut at SoNna 2026 is located in La Litera and will host a concert by Colombian artist Ëda Díaz on Sunday, July 12. Inaugurated four years ago, Los Olmos Park in Binéfar covers almost 25.000 square meters and is home to more than 600 trees of various species. From the artificial lake, which covers more than 1.500 square meters, various paths and trails radiate out, connecting the facilities of the sports and social complex located north of the town. This long-awaited park is now proudly proclaimed by all the residents of Binéfar as a haven of biodiversity.
The festival's first leg, during July, features debut venues. On Saturday the 25th, SoNna will move to Canfranc Estación to welcome Argentinian solo artist Belén Natalí. The comprehensive renovation of the Canfranc International Station led to the opening of the Arañones esplanade to the public, a large, 12-hectare landscaped public square that preserves the town's railway heritage. It is essentially an open-air museum, displaying five train cars, a section of the original track, an impressive overhead crane, and a water tower that once supplied steam locomotives. In the southern area, a natural amphitheater with a grassy meadow was created to host cultural and social events.
Three debuts in one weekend
The following week, SoNna Huesca will visit two debut venues in the Alto Gállego region on the same weekend: the Church of San Martín de Ordovés and the Church of the Ascension in Aquilué. On Friday, July 31, Ordovés will host the Cubero Brothers from La Mancha, a true benchmark in Iberian neo-folklore. Ordovés is probably the most understated and austere of the churches on the Serrablo Route. Nestled among gentle hills and small open meadows, the Church of San Martín de Ordovés sits in the Guarga River valley. It was the first church to be restored by the Friends of Serrablo Association in 1971.
The following day, the festival will move just a few kilometers to the area around the Church of the Ascension in Aquilúe (Caldearenas), where the recital "Monteperdido ," by Idoipe from Aragon and Maria Rodés from Catalonia, is scheduled. Surrounded on three sides by the secluded cemetery, protected by a low stone wall, the Church of the Ascension of the Lord of Aquilué once housed a two-story abbey until the 20th century, which was demolished due to its ruinous state. The resulting space was transformed into a large, wooded garden that marks the entrance and also serves as a viewpoint.
And that weekend is rounded out with another debut venue, the Hermitage of El Viñedo in Loporzano, where Nico Miseria from La Mancha is scheduled to perform on Sunday, August 2nd. The Hermitage of El Viñedo is located in a flat area, very close to Castilsabás, surrounded by olive groves. The hermitage is an 18th-century building that houses the image of the Virgin of El Viñedo and some curious folk paintings. The architectural complex includes the guesthouse, attached to the church. The ground floor of this house serves as the El Viñedo Tourist Information Point. Castilsabás is one of the twelve villages of the Abbey of Montearagón, which for almost a millennium have made a pilgrimage to the Hermitage of El Viñedo on May 1st. Each of the twelve villages brings a cross that they place on the altar, recently restored by the sculptor and craftsman Julio Luzán.
On Friday, August 7th, the festival will visit Bodega Edra, in the Hoya de Huesca region, where the Madrid-based group Gilipojazz will perform. It will be one of three wineries visited during this seventh edition, along with Laus and Valonga. Bodega Edra's nearly thirty hectares of vineyards—established in 1999—are located in Ayerbe, within the Ribera del Gállego Protected Geographical Indication. Edra cultivates its vineyards with respect for nature and integrates itself into its biodiversity, in an oasis amidst olive and almond groves. The winery is covered in a blanket of ivy (Edra in Aragonese Occitan) that acts as insulation and a natural ventilator in summer.
Treviño Hermitage and Laspaúles Sculpture Garden
The other two debut venues in this edition arrive in the final stretch of the program, on the weekend before the closing of the Cartuja de las Fuentes in Sariñena. On Saturday, September 5th, Argentinian artist Manu Sija will be at the magical “Domingo Subías” Sculpture Garden in Laspaúles, named after the local parish priest and sculptor, Domingo Subías, whose sculptures were donated by his family after his death. Laspaúles owes Father Subías a debt of gratitude for the restoration of the local mill, the church, and numerous hermitages in the surrounding area, as well as for his tireless work promoting the region's culture and society. A medieval bridge, the first built of stone in the Alta Ribagorza region, leads to the open-air iron sculpture garden, featuring a total of thirty works, most of them located within the garden itself.
And finally, on Sunday, September 6, Ernesto Cossío and Joaquín Pardinilla, from Aragon, will conclude the SoNna Huesca's itinerant journey through the Alto Aragón region at the hermitage of Nuestra Señora de Treviño in Adahuesca. The church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is a late Romanesque ashlar construction with a Romanesque portal featuring archivolts and a Gothic porch covered with a vault and large windows. It was declared a historical-artistic monument in 1981. Perhaps its name, Treviño, derives from its historical location amidst vineyards. Another etymological hypothesis suggests that the boundaries of three dioceses converged in Treviño, and that the three bishops could meet around a table without any of them leaving their respective diocesan boundaries.
