June 20 and 21 Activities and entertainment for all the family during the Noches del Camino festival in Caravaca

The Huertos del Vicario venue houses a market and plenty of music and entertainment for all ages!

There’s no doubt that the main musical event in Caravaca de la Cruz in June, or in the whole of the summer in fact, is the “Noches del Camino” festival in which artists including David Boisbal and Ana Torroja are performing, but alongside there is an excellent programme of supplementary music and other activities at Los Huertos del Vicario (click for map), where one of the stages for Noches del Camino is located.

These ancillary events are all free of charge and include an arts and crafts market, creative workshops and children’s activities as well as more music, both live and with DJs.
