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.
