Festivals this week (9 to 15 November): Underfest, Fira Trovam, Es Gremi and Michel Camilo's jazz

The week has a general strike in the middle and a weekend spread across half of Spain. The 24-hour general strike on Wednesday 11, called by CCOO and UGT among other organisations, has already forced some concerts to be cancelled, as we reported in our piece on the affected concerts; among the festivals in this guide, as of 4 November JAZZMADRID was still selling tickets for Kurt Elling that day and the Festival de Jazz de Lugo was keeping Kenny Barron on. From Thursday 12 to Sunday 15 come the club festivals of Vigo, Zaragoza, Palma and Santiago, the fairs with free concerts in Castelló and Cádiz, and a jazz circuit that takes the same names from city to city.

This is the festival listing for Monday 9 to Sunday 15 November, with the times, venues and prices shown on the official websites and ticket outlets on Wednesday 4. The previous week is in our guide to 2 to 8 November, and the full month in our guide to November festivals.
