Abstract:	This paper focuses on territorial dynamics generated by five international music festivals in the Emporda region (Spain), in the framework of a research program funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and carried out by the TUDISTAR research group[1], based at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. This program aims to analyse how various Spanish rural areas apply specific diversification strategies based on cultural tourism. Emporda was one of the chosen case studies. It represents a complex rural area with a beachbased tourism tradition. This dual feature represents a double challenge: generating territorial dynamics and diversifying the tourist sector.
