Ribela Love Nature

Banks of the Sarria, a dance floor among the trees

In the shade of the trees and right next to the Sarria river, the estate in the village of Ribela becomes, when there is programming, a human-scale electronic music venue. There is no concrete wall or Saturday nightclub schedule: there is a dance floor tent, colored light on the canopy, a campsite among the vegetation, and the sound of the water. The location is stable—Rúa Ribela, 1, in the municipality of Sarria—and the infrastructure is temporary: each edition is assembled and disassembled with protocols designed not to damage the soil, flora, and fauna.

From a house by the river to a venue with two stages

The identity started in 2022. A group of organizers, with Marco Veiga among the promoters and under the Asociación Cultural Ribela, gathered more than three hundred people and twenty-two Galician artists over four days. The following year, the gathering already occupied two stages, debuted a camping area, and opened the lineup to names from outside Galicia, without losing the intimate format of a private house on the banks of the river. That scale—hundreds of bodies, not thousands—remains the hallmark of the dance floor: in 2025 the organization spoke of a capacity of 600 people per day; in 2026 the fifth edition closed with about 700 per day, with local and international audiences.

Inner World, Outer World

The programming has shifted towards experimental electronics and the European underground, without letting go of the local thread. The fifth edition articulated two nights—Inner World and Outer World—with a Camping Stage for emerging artists from an open call and a main stage that sustained the early hours until 06:00. In the tent, acts such as Call Super, Legowelt, Or:la, Pariah, or the Sarria-born Jor Ginho, who opened the first edition and closed the fifth, played. The venue coexists with digital art, LED screens, and pieces designed for the location: the dance floor is not just dancing, it is also an installation.

Void, camping, and a venue that dissolves at dawn

In 2026, the venue debuted a quadraphonic Void Acoustics system, with a surround effect designed so that the listening experience is the same at any point on the dance floor. Around it, the place functions as a small club festival: free parking a few meters away, showers and toilets, reusable cups, waste points, hydration, and a plant-based offer. It does not open every week. It opens when there is programming, in an annual two-day event, and the rest of the year the estate returns to the silence of the river. That intermittency is part of its character: a specific physical venue, not a nomadic brand that changes rooms.
