The Sonafilm festival has established itself as a musical benchmark dedicated to the great soundtracks of the seventh art. The idea emerged in Ondara seven years ago and captivated the public. Its format as a major cultural event encouraged other municipalities such as Dénia, Calp, Teulada-Moraira and Beniarbeig to join the initiative. In 2025, Xàbia and Pego have also joined the project.
