Costa Tropical Music Camp

Voices from the camp

The Costa Tropical Music Camp is a songwriting camp held once or twice a year in Almuñécar in southern Spain. Songwriters from many different countries come here to write music, develop their craft and create new songs together. The connections made here have often been the starting point for lasting songwriting partnerships and have resulted in many great songs across a range of genres.

Participants work in their own rooms and bring the instruments and equipment they need to record simple demos. The focus is on writing great songs — the productions can be developed further afterwards.

I first came here in 2005 when I was able to borrow SKAP's apartment, and I fell in love with this little town, which offers a wonderfully inspiring setting between the mountains and the sea, where it is easy to let creativity flow freely. The songwriters stay in their own double rooms at a beautifully located hotel right by the sea. We have breakfast and lunch together at the hotel, and in the evenings we settle in at one of the cosy restaurants on the beach or in town.
