WOS is a festival that takes place each September in over ten selected indoor locations throughout the city of Santiago de Compostela, all of them within a walking distance from the cathedral in the old town quarters declared World Heritage Site. We use two theaters, two museums, a farmer’s market, an art gallery, two concert halls, a 18th century church, an urban palace’s terrace and an independent movie theater among other locations intended to create unique experiences for selected audiences. The festival’s experience renders a true touristic, architectural and artistic route through the city. The programming consists of more than 50 activities and the audience is only about 1000 people/day. WOS has been selected as best indoor festival of 2018 at the European Festival Awards.
