Please advise on best concerts at Alhambra Palace gardens in August to take my family
Hi Linda
I just wrote up most of them on this article
https://www.piccavey.com/flamenco-summer-granada/
The best option inside the Alhambra Palace is Flamencolorquiano which is on from now until 1st September in the generalife theatre
Hope this helps

I am very keen to go to one of the Alhambra Concerts during June or July 2019, and would like to know if there is a website I should look out for in order to be able to purchase tickets online!
This depends on the exact date. The International Festival
dates for this edition are from 21st June to 12th July 2019.
After then there is a Flamenco + Lorca show in the Generalife gardens for the rest of the summer season (End July until beginning of Sept)
Tickets for the festival dont go on sale until Mid April and the Flamenco in Generalife arent on sale until End of June.
Hope this helps

Hi Molly,
Thank you for responding to my enquiry so promptly!. I’ll be watching out for the website in April to buy tickets.
Your newsletter is brilliant – we always spend a few days in Granada when we visit Spain – it’s our favourite city in Andalusia!
Best……………..Gill
Happy that you enjoy the newsletter, the next one is due very soon.
The Summer festival at the Alhambra is fabulous. Hope you manage to get good tickets this season too.
Greetings
Molly
Could you help ? we will be there from October 2019 until March 2020 and would dearly love to see a concert of music and/or dance at the Alhambra any suggestion would be welcome
Hi Roberta
the FEX International dance festival in on at the beginning of each summer
and the Flamenco in the Generalife is in August and September
There are no concerts at the Alhambra itself from October to March
however there are other cultural things in the city such as Guitar music at Manuel de Falla
and other concerts at Teatro Isabel la Catolica
hope this helps
