On September 9, 10, and 11, the first nomadic multidisciplinary project in Spain held in a historic heritage site takes place: at the Monastery of Monsalud, in Córcoles (Guadalajara).

Up to seven artistic disciplines: Visual Arts – Film – Dance and Performance – Music – Poetry and Literature – Theater and Video Art. More than 130 artists creating live!

The second edition of SANFest arrives, the first nomadic multidisciplinary project in Spain developed in a historic heritage setting: at the Monastery of Monsalud, in Córcoles (Guadalajara).

Organized by a group of young people convinced that life without art is not life, the festival takes place on September 9, 10, and 11. SANFest expands the format of music festivals, broadening its scope to artistic, performing, and literary creation. It is a space that embraces high culture and brings it closer to a curious audience eager to experience new forms of expression in an enjoyable and accessible way.

A distinctive aspect of the festival is the concept of transforming the space: during the days of the festival, simultaneous events unfold in areas designated for works-in-progress, fostering improvisation and creative development. It becomes a participatory gathering in which the audience also takes on a leading role.

The organizers of SANFest state: “We like the idea of bringing together different urban and local groups within a framework of coexistence, tolerance, and respect. This way, participants are enriched by cultural aspects they would otherwise not encounter.” Graphic artists, extreme urban art, poetry battles… the roster of participating artists grows each day.

SANFest has a unique characteristic: the event is conceived as a revitalizing project for historic heritage, prompting artists to reflect on and work with the site, resulting in a vivid chronicle of past, present, and future. For this second edition, the chosen location is the Monastery of Monsalud, set in a privileged enclave overlooking the town of Córcoles and located just five minutes from Sacedón in Guadalajara. It is one of the clearest and most beautiful examples of Cistercian architecture and presence on the Iberian Peninsula.
