Badajoz Flamenco Festival merch for delegations — Badasom

How to plan the merch order for the Badajoz Flamenco & Fado Festival (Badasom)

Dates

early–mid July 2027 edition (five days, annually) (the 2025 edition ran 1–5 July; the Ayuntamiento de Badajoz confirms dates each year)

Venue

Teatro López de Ayala and Auditorio Ricardo Carapeto — Badajoz, Badajoz

Format

International festival of four to five nights with cross-programming of Spanish flamenco artists and Portuguese fado singers, parallel activities, an artisan market in the old town and an audience combining local Pacense attendees, Extremaduran cultural tourism, Portuguese fans crossing the border and national and international cultural press

The Festival Internacional de Flamenco y Fado de Badajoz, also known as Badasom, is one of the most established Extremaduran cultural fixtures of the summer, organised by the Ayuntamiento de Badajoz in collaboration with regional bodies and recognised by Turespaña as one of the reference music festivals of Extremadura. Across more than fifteen editions it has consolidated an artistic profile that pairs leading cantaores of flamenco with Portuguese fadistas, bringing together two Iberian musical traditions with a common root. For sponsor teams and cultural press the operational brief is to coordinate a night festival in a Spanish heritage city on the Portuguese border: the climate in Badajoz in early July averages 34 °C daytime and drops to 18 °C at night, the A-5 towards Madrid and the IP-2 towards Lisbon handle the inbound logistics, and hospitality is set up in the old town (Hotel Río, Hotel Cervantes, Hotel Confortel, NH Gran Hotel Casino de Extremadura).

The briefings we receive typically combine lightweight apparel for the hospitality team (white cotton shirts, linen polos, sunglasses, fabric fans, tote bags with the year's poster), accreditations for accredited cultural press and Portuguese press crossing the border, limited-edition books for collectors, gift sets with Extremaduran and Portuguese product (Tierra de Extremadura wine, La Serena cheese, Vera paprika, Extremaduran Iberian ham, Gata-Hervás olive oil, Portuguese conventual sweets) and premium merchandise for the festival's raffles and give-aways. Production runs from the Mérida or Madrid hub and delivery goes by road (SEUR, Correos Express, GLS) to a named consignee in Badajoz.

The B2B invoice is issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-community clients holding a valid VIES number the reverse-charge mechanism applies without Spanish VAT; for clients in the United Kingdom and outside the EU the invoice is issued without VAT citing the relevant article of the EU directive.

Production and delivery logistics to the Badajoz flamenco week

The brand operation at the Badajoz Flamenco & Fado Festival is usually coordinated between Mérida and Madrid: the Mérida production hub handles most of the graphic and light-textile pieces (goods, white cotton shirts, linen polos, tote bags) while the Madrid hub acts as a backup warehouse for special pieces (Extremaduran gourmet sets, numbered prize-list catalogues, premium Spanish and Portuguese artist packaging). Delivery is by road to a named consignee — the festival office at the Teatro López de Ayala, the Auditorio Ricardo Carapeto, the old-town hotels or the main-stage dressing room. The usual delivery window is 24–48 hours by appointment, because the festival runs in the height of the Spanish summer holiday season and the A-5 between Madrid and Badajoz carries heavy lorry traffic.

We keep reserved stock at the Mérida hub for the recurring pieces — white cotton shirts, linen polos, organic cotton tote bags with generic artwork — that we can produce and ship in 7–10 business days. For pieces with customised embroidery (sponsor monogram, edition number, signature of the graphic artist) the window extends to 12–14 business days. For sponsors with bespoke hospitality pieces (numbered sets with Tierra de Extremadura wine, La Serena cheese, Vera paprika) we recommend closing the order 4–5 weeks before the opening day, due to the seasonality of Extremaduran products and the cold handling of certain premium lots.

The B2B invoice is issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-community clients holding a valid VIES number the reverse-charge mechanism applies without Spanish VAT; for clients in the United Kingdom and outside the EU the invoice is issued without VAT citing the relevant article of the EU directive. Each delivery is confirmed with a signed delivery note and, on the client's request, with a photo of the material unloaded at the Teatro López de Ayala dressing room or at the festival office.
