La Caña Flamenca
A Flamenco Festival on the Costa Tropical
This Annual Summer Festival throughout July and August has some great flamenco performances but also fashion shows too.

Every year summer flamenco musicals take place at the Generalife theatre set inside the Alhambra grounds.
This Summer the performance will take place on specific dates rather than throughout the whole summer (as previous editions)

The show is inspired by Federico Garcia Lorca´s work and recreates surreal and flamenco landscapes.

Wish I’d seen some Flamenco when I was in Spain. Sounds like there is lot to do in the summer – even in the heat.
I LOVE Flamenco! But I’ve never really had a chance to see or experience any during our visit to Sevilla. I promised myself to remedy this when we next visit Andalusian Spain.
This is so valuable. I’ve been to Malaga once, but never to Sevilla or Granada and I’m dying to go. I love flamenco and was able to see a performance in London once. If I ever get back to Spain, I’ll have to refer to these outlets. Who is that really famous male Flamenco dancer that dated Naomi Campbell about 10-15 years ago?
My former manager used to travel to Spain religiously to take in a flamenco workshop each year. Judging by all these listings, she had a lot of options. I’d love to go to Spain one day for the food, art and flamenco. Which festival is your favourite?
The Veranos del Corral is my favourite due to the intimate courtyard setting, it´s perfect for summer evenings.
I’ve never experienced Flamenco, but it sounds like a lot of fun – a lot of great events and happenings going on! Spanish Guitar Concerts sound like they would be right up my alley. Will have to add to the bucket list! Thanks!
There is a lot of variety within Flamenco performance. I prefer Cuadro Flamenco (a group of 5-6 people) and the male dancers myself.
¡Hola Molly!
He leído su blog por 5 años. Es estupendo. He vuelto a Granada y estoy aquí por una semana. Gracias por la buena información. No puedo visitar a las fiestas este verano.
A mi me gusta el póster de Flamencolorquiano. ¿Es posible cómprelo aquí en Granada?
Un saludo
