Ten artists from the region have united around the Blues Festival of Hondarribia to contemplate it from a different perspective. During the days of the festival they will come armed with their pencils and markers to document the contest in their own way.

The city of Hondarribia is once again waiting for a massive affluence in this edition. In previous years, more than 90,000 people, a tide of amateurs, were counted, as well as a significant economic impact.

As in other editions, the E77 lines (Irun, Errenteria, Pasaia, Donostia), E78 (Irun) and E21 (Donostia by motorway) will operate during the festival. More information at www.ekialdebus.eus and on twitter @ekialdebus

Mercedes Benz, with Goiko Auto, its official dealer in Gipuzkoa, will be once again the official vehicle of the Festival. Eleven years serving the stars and bands of the Bluesaldia.

The official launch of the program of the twelfth edition of the Hondarribia Blues Festival took place in San Sebastián today. The program for this year presents great blues figures and more street programming with quality as a sign of identity.

The Mahou-San Miguel group continues to rely on the HBF as a vehicle to consolidate its star brand Carlsberg in the Bidasoa region. And there are eleven years of uninterrupted support for the Festival.

One more year, the Festival has reached an agreement with La 2 of TVE for the delayed broadcast of two concerts of the present edition.

For a second consecutive year, the poster announcing the festival has been chosen through a public contest called by the city council of Hondarribia. Among the 31 works presented, the poster is entitled "Blue Bluesman".
