If you can handle the heat, Murcia is a great place to go for open air concerts in July.
There is the San Javier Jazz festival in this month where stars such as George Benson, Roberta Flack, Maceo Parker, Solomon Burke play in an open air auditorium in a park in San Javier. The tickets are rarely over 20€ and you can drink and eat there (there is a bar). It is also quite small compared to big city concert halls and it makes for an intimate and relaxed atmosphere in the open air on a summer's night.
You can find programs and buy tickets on www.jazzsanjavier.com
In the same month, there is also a World Music festival in Cartagena (Murcia).
This is fantastic too. There is a different country as the theme each year (2009 is Morocco) and they mix music from the stars of this country with other international acts. The auditorium is open air at the top of a mountain with fantastic views of the Roman ruins of an auditorium just below it and there usually follows another concert in a Moorish castle above this.
There is a great atmosphere here and fantastic views and you usually get 5 hours of concert with some really eclectic mixes of musicians for under 20€!
Tickets can be bought from www.lamardemusicas.com
In the very same month in Lorca (Murcia) there is an open air music festival in the site of the castle of Lorca with different acts (mainly rock) every year.
For music lovers the world over, this is a great opportunity for tourism and music, all rolled into one!

uuuh, cartagena! i got stuck there for 2 week during a boat transfer. weather got bad. cartagena is cool to be visited  4 couple of days, but not 2 week while raining.
cartegena was founded by asurbanipal, the son of the famous cartagan warior hanibal who came to the gates of rome with elephants. people from the original city of cartaga in north africa fled from a hord of visigots that have destroyed the ancient city cartaga. so they sailed acros the sea and landed in spain. there are a lot of ruins and sights today across the city. the town itself is 2/3 closed due to the fact it is a spanish marine base. so u have ruins and u-boats. a lot of arabs live in the town so it is fun to explore other cultures.
spanish people in general r very friendly and speak bad english.
stoping in cartagena is not a must, but u will mako no mistake if u spend a day or 2 here
