The Udako Musika Printzak festival, taking place in Azpeitia in the coming weeks, will celebrate the centenary of the Urola Train, using various unique locations and the railway itself as its stage.

A new edition of the Udako Musika Printzak festival will arrive at various unique spots in Azpeitia in the coming weeks. This year, the festival's main theme is the centenary of the Urola Train, and in this regard, an itinerant concert has been organized for July 17th on the railway line between Azpeitia and Lasao.
As explained by the organizers, "the cycle aims to pay tribute to the well-known train that has been a travel companion for the people of Azpeitia." Due to the train's space limitations and the unique nature of the itinerant concert, tickets will be made available in advance. They can be purchased from Monday, July 6th, onwards, on the website of the Kulturaz cooperative ([Kulturaz.eus](https://www.kulturaz.eus/agenda/udako-musika-printzak-urolako-trena-mende-batez-azpeitiarron-bidaide)).
The Udako Musika Printzak festival will begin on July 10th, and the specific programming details will be announced later by the organizers. In previous years, the festival has featured improvised music, participatory choral singing, visits from orchestras, and incursions into flamenco, with performances held in various significant heritage sites within the town, such as the municipal washhouse, the Chapel of Solitude, the Maternity sculpture, Basazabal Palace, the Magdalena hermitage, Sanagustin Cultural Center, and the Enparan Tower.
