The breathtaking scenic beauty of Sierra Nevada Mountains, together with the cultural tone of this medieval Andalusian town, makes it the perfect venue for such a cultural event. The festival is held every year since 1988 in the month of March.

The International Tango Festival in Granada is the first of its kind in Spain. The pulsating excitement of top class Tango dancing is featured for a week. Performers from Europe and all parts of world join to celebrate this historic dance form which dates back to the late 19th century with the name Tango, although its origin directs you to even few more decades back. There are various forms of Tango dances evolved in different regions of Europe, both in terms of movements, bodily posture and music. Today, Argentina and Uruguay both claim to be the birth place of Tango. Nevertheless, it has also been influenced by Spanish culture.
