Organizers expect Luz Casal's concert to sell out, while Pablo López's is also expected to come close. By mid-morning Monday, the closing concert on Saturday by the Galician singer had sold 1,795 tickets (capacity is 2,000), so very few tickets are expected to remain at the box office. Pablo López, for his part, had sold 1,576 tickets as of Sunday. With last-minute sales (€30 in advance and €35 at the box office), both concerts are expected to sell out or come close.
The Cartuja de las Fuentes Monastery was founded in 1507 by the Counts of Sástago. It was the first Carthusian monastery built in the Kingdom of Aragon and the fifteenth in Spain. It stands in the heart of Los Monegros, at the foot of the Alcubierre range. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest and a Historic-Artistic Heritage Site in 2002, it is home to one of the most important Baroque painting ensembles in Aragon.
A CROWDED FINALE FOR A SMALL FESTIVAL
Following a tour that began on July 4 and has visited 25 “magical” locations across Alto Aragón with an equal number of small- and medium-format performances, drawing between 150 and 500 spectators, the Festival Sonidos en la Naturaleza “betrays” itself every year with two major concerts in a venue that seems made for a great cultural celebration.
After visiting wineries (Edra, Laus and Valonga), rural churches (Allué, Aquilué, Linás de Broto…), chapels amid the mountains (La Ganza, Viñedo, San Medardo and Treviño), forests, springs, parks and farmsteads, SoNna Huesca concludes its run at the Carthusian monastery in Sariñena, the most impressive monumental complex of them all, for its traditional Los Monegros finale. There, it will experience its final sunset, and surely its most evocative.
According to festival director and DPH Culture official Begoña Puértolas, “this is going to be one of the Cartuja’s best years in terms of attendance. Amaral and Rozalén, for example, sold out in the past, but that was after the pandemic and capacity was limited to 1,200 spectators. The artist who did sell out all 2,000 seats was Manu Chao in 2022,” she recalled.
