How to plan the merch order for the Pirineos Sur Festival
Dates
(previous editions: late June to late July, around four consecutive weekends)
Venue
Natural amphitheatre next to the Lanuza reservoir, abandoned village of Lanuza, Plaza of Sallent de Gállego and Tena valley hotels
Format
Open-air world music festival with African, Latin American, Caribbean and European programming in a mountain natural amphitheatre
Pirineos Sur is one of the most distinctive world music festivals in the European calendar: hosted since 1992 in the natural amphitheatre of Lanuza, next to the Huesca reservoir that frames the Tena valley, it programmes around twenty concerts each edition across four consecutive July weekends. Its identity blends world music figures (Tinariwen, Anoushka Shankar, Hugh Masekela in his lifetime, Ibrahim Ferrer, Idir, Rokia Traoré, Chucho Valdés in past editions), open-air cinema, craft market, parallel programming in the abandoned village of Lanuza and a hospitality operation that works with hotels across the Tena valley (Formigal, Panticosa, Sallent) and Aragonese restaurants.
For sponsor delegations and international label teams the operational challenge is to run a mountain festival campaign in the middle of the Pyrenean summer: open-air concerts that overlap with summer storms (rain, hail and reservoir breeze), logistics constrained by the French A-136 calendar, hospitality in rural valley hotels with local cuisine and a photocall operation at the Portalet (border crossing with France) that clashes with the Benasque summer calendar. The brief we usually receive combines wool and organic-cotton staff clothing adapted to Pyrenean weather, bilingual Aragonese-Spanish lanyards and credentials for international programmers, premium catalogue books and notebooks for World Music Charts Europe critics, and a closing gift set with Sallent ceramics and Tena valley cured meats for guest artists.
The Madrid production hub handles the full order and delivers by road (SEUR, Correos Express, DHL) to the named consignee in Huesca — sponsor's office in Madrid or Zaragoza, Huesca Provincial Council (DPH) office, Lanuza amphitheatre press room, reference hotel in Sallent de Gállego or the dressing room set up by the abandoned village. The usual delivery window is 24–48 hours with a pre-arranged appointment, since the festival falls in mid-July and the A-23 connecting Madrid with Huesca carries heavy holiday-departure and holiday-return traffic.
B2B invoices are issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-Community customers with a valid VIES number reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU customers the invoice is issued without VAT, citing the relevant article of the EU directive.

Season-ticket holder and guest giveaways
Premium Moleskine notebooks with covers wrapped in artisan Aragonese paper, fine-tip pens engraved with the Lanuza amphitheatre seal, organic-cotton tote bags with Pyrenean screen-printing, travel blankets for the cold valley nights and linen bookmarks for the printed programmes — 200 to 1,500 units per edition.

Premium gift boxes with Tena valley cured meats (Graus longaniza, Bierge chorizo), artisan Sallent ceramics (hand-painted plates and tiles), trilingual Aragonese-Spanish-English packaging, numbered editions of the festival catalogue and named-delivery to the amphitheatre dressing room, valley hotel or guest producer's office.
Production and delivery logistics in the Tena valley
The brand operation at the Pirineos Sur Festival is usually coordinated between Madrid and Sallent de Gállego: the Madrid production hub handles the full order and delivers by road to the named consignee — sponsor's office in Madrid or Zaragoza, Huesca Provincial Council (DPH) office, Lanuza amphitheatre press room, reference hotel in Sallent de Gállego or the dressing room set up by the abandoned village. The usual delivery window is 24–48 hours with a pre-arranged appointment, since the festival falls in mid-July and the A-23 towards Huesca carries heavy holiday-departure and holiday-return traffic, while the N-260 climbing to the Tena valley gets congested with Portalet-bound tourists.
We keep reserved stock in the Madrid hub for recurring items — grey sweatshirts, notebooks and tote bags with generic screen-printing — that we can produce and deliver in 7–10 working days. For pieces with personalised embroidery (sponsor's monogram, limited-edition number) the window moves to 12–14 working days. For sponsors with special hospitality pieces (numbered boxes with valley cured meats, gift packs for international tours) we recommend closing the order 4–5 weeks before the opening concert because of the delicacy of the artisan piece and the cured-meat curing lead times.
B2B invoices are issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-Community customers with a valid VIES number reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU customers the invoice is issued without VAT, citing the relevant article of the EU directive. Every delivery is confirmed with a signed delivery note at destination and, when the client asks for it, with a photo of the unloaded material.
Recommended order calendar
6–8 weeks before: close the product list, quantities per consignee and the print method per item (artisan ceramics require blank pieces and hand painting; cured meats require a prior charcuterie reservation).
4–5 weeks before: approve a physical or pre-production sample from the Madrid hub and validate the sponsor's monogram.
2–3 weeks before: close production, quality control and trilingual Aragonese-Spanish-English labelling.
Festival week: confirm the delivery window, named consignee and contact at the Huesca Provincial Council.
