GRANADA ES FLAMENCO 365
From September 12 to 19, 2026, Granada will once again become a major stage for one of Andalusia’s most deeply rooted art forms: flamenco. The Granada es Flamenco 365 festival will bring a week of performances and cultural activities to some of the city’s most iconic and historic locations.
Carmen houses, viewpoints, squares and heritage venues will come alive with music, dance and tradition, creating a unique experience where Granada’s cultural heritage meets the passion of flamenco. This year’s programme features some of the most important names in contemporary flamenco, including Estrella Morente, Manuel Liñán and Eva Yerbabuena, representing different generations and styles within the genre.
For those studying and living in Granada, a festival like this is also a wonderful opportunity to discover local culture and experience the city from a different perspective. At Escuela Montalbán, where students from all over the world come to learn Spanish and discover Granada, events such as Granada es Flamenco 365 offer a unique chance to experience one of Andalusia’s most important cultural traditions first-hand.
Throughout the week, Granada will once again show why flamenco is such an essential part of its cultural identity. The programme will culminate in a closing concert, inviting both locals and visitors to enjoy flamenco in settings that make every performance a truly special experience.
Granada es Flamenco 365 is not only an opportunity to discover flamenco, but also a way to discover Granada itself: its historic spaces, its heritage, its atmosphere and its culture. It is an unmissable event for anyone who wants to experience the city and connect with a tradition that continues to evolve while remaining deeply connected to its roots.
At Escuela Montalbán, we encourage our students to make the most of this special week: explore the city, visit its beautiful venues and experience Granada through its music, dance and art.
LORCA AND GRANADA AT THE GENERALIFE 2026
If you are studying Spanish with us this summer, you are in for a magical treat. One of Andalusia's most spectacular cultural events is returning to Granada. The "Lorca y Granada en los Jardines del Generalife" festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary from July 31st to August 29th, 2026.
This annual festival merges the immortal poetry of Federico García Lorca with the raw passion of flamenco, all set inside the breathtaking open-air theatre of the Alhambra’s Generalife gardens. It is the perfect opportunity to practice your Spanish listening skills while soaking up genuine Andalusian culture under the summer stars.
Every show starts at 22:00 h, making it a perfect post-tapas night out. Here is what you can catch this year:
- "Las gitanas cantan y bailan a Lorca" (July 31 – August 15, Tuesday to Saturday): A powerful performance showcasing top flamenco artists like Manuela Carrasco and Pastora Galván.
- "Tierra bendita, tierra vieja del candil" (August 19 – 22): A mesmerizing production by the official Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía.
- Omega 30th Anniversary Concert: A special musical celebration honoring the legendary rock-flamenco fusion album based on Lorca's poems.
- Get early bird tickets: General tickets cost 35 €, but if you buy them before July 30th, you can grab them for just 23 €.
- Where to buy: You can get them online or physically at the Corral del Carbón kiosk in the city center starting July 15th.
- Bring a light jacket: Even in August, the gardens can get surprisingly fresh late at night!
Don't miss this unforgettable cultural experience. If you want to go with your classmates, ask at the school reception and we can help you book your tickets!
