El Festival de Música y Danza Antiguas de Roquetas de Mar (Festival of Early Music and Dance, Roquetas de Mar) was born with the dream of contributing to the rising current of historical western music performance. This historical movement brings to life the sounds, techniques and instruments used in early western music. The focus is on music from the Middle Ages, through the Renaissance and Baroque, on to classicism, at which point orchestral instruments were modernized to effectively assume their current forms.
