welcome
II EDITION
Created to raise visibility and growth of the handpan community in the Canary Islands and to promote the wonders of our archipelago to all lovers of this magical instrument.
The Canarias Handpan Festival was born with the idea of providing a meeting place for internationally renowned musicians and artists of different performing arts, giving the opportunity to try the instrument through workshops and classes of different levels, integrate with combinations of various arts that are well accompanied by the special sound that comes out of the handpan, and give the possibility to attend live music shows accompanied by artists of various styles.
Three days of music, meetings, activities, workshops, open mic, and concerts. The instrument, which arrived in the Canary Islands a few years ago through its maker, is now getting to know the Canary Islands’ environment and culture.

Concerts
Within our magical location, we will have a space used for live music…
Throughout the 3 days, there will be several moments to play together, and we will have live performances at night, both in our location and in the beautiful square of El Cotillo, a coastal village a few minutes away by bus (which we will provide) where our international guests will play on Saturday night.
On Friday and Sunday, we will have Jam sessions at the venue, and by draw, you could get on stage and play with your favorite artists.
Isn’t it cool?
The location
The Festival will take place in an old hostel on the island of Fuerteventura, surrounded by the typical Majorero landscape, an open and infinite horizon towards the ocean.
It is a modern meeting space with a common living room, a commercial kitchen, and a restaurant. The facilities are well maintained, and the landscape is immaculate in a serene environment.
There is also a nice shaded outdoor space.
The facilities have been modernized, with lots of solar hot water, while maintaining the original building and vernacular style.
It is a 3-kilometer walk to three volcanic cauldrons and several beaches. It is an easy bike ride along the bike path to LaJares, and beautiful bike rides along the coast to Corralejo and El Cotillo.
Lodging
There will be dormitories with about 12/14 beds at your disposal where you will be able to rest for the duration of the Festival!
Yes, you read right, the accommodation (in shared dormitories) is included in the ticket price (amazing, right?).
In the surroundings of the structure, it will also be possible to stay in your van if you prefer, but be careful: we have a limited capacity, so if you want to sleep in a dormitory or you prefer to sleep in your van, the ticket price does not change!
