This description of levels is for guidance only.
If you have any doubts, contact us and we will tell you at which level we think you will make the best use of the Festival.
The Festival begins on Friday 02/06 at 10 am.
Registration will be from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Hotel and there will be sites enabled to register throughout the day.
There will be classes during the day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Do not worry, we will set other registration times during the day of Friday
There are 6 hours of class for each level, apart from the tasters.
The distribution of hours is: 2 hours a day for 3 days.The first classes will begin on Friday 06/02 at 3:00 p.m.
The apartments are for 3 or 4 people.
If you come with people you know, you can let us know who you want to share an apartment with in comments at check-in.
If you come without people you know, the distribution of the apartments will be random. Please keep in mind that you may have people you don't know, but it will be like colonies!
If you are 2 people and you want an apartment just for you, you can pay the supplement of €30 per person and night.
There will be no changes or money refunds. You can sell your pass to someone else. This is common at Swing festivals.
We have a few Follower single spots for each level. If they run out, we'll put you on the waiting list. At the moment when a place is released, we will notify you in order. You will have to hurry to get your pass :-)
Not at the moment, but we do not rule out opening a Solo Jazz group, depending on the demand. If you are interested, write us an email to info@springandswing.com.
We have enabled buses on Friday 02/06 to go from Barcelona to the Hotel directly. The journey lasts approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Times are:
FRIDAY June 2nd:
9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
The cost is €20. You can buy your transfer at the time of registration.
If you do not use the transfer enabled by the Festival, there are other options.
A few weeks before the Festival, we will enable a way for you to share a car. We will get in touch with people who have a car and places to take someone, and people who would like to arrive by car from Barcelona or Girona.
If you go by PUBLIC TRANSPORT, there is the number 1 bus that leaves from Barcelona airport or from Estació del Nord, and stops at Platja d'Aro.

From the center of Platja d'Aro to the hotel there are about 15/20 minutes walking.
At the moment we have not enabled particular buses to return.
We trust that you will meet a lot of people and you will be able to return with someone by car :-))
There is also a public transport option.
