We recommend checking the official schedule as soon as the first names are announced.  <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Logistics and parking: Sant Feliu de Gu\u00edxols designates parking areas for concert days, but arriving early ensures a stress-free arrival and gives you the chance to have dinner or a drink at the port before the show. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Weather forecast: The seaside location of venues like Espai Port means summer nights can turn cool due to Mediterranean humidity. Don&#8217;t forget to pack a light jacket or a wrap in the car.  <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Smart hotel booking: Just as with tickets, demand for rooms near Sant Feliu de Gu\u00edxols is very high.
