Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

A festival born at the same time as the Peña El Rincón del Pilar.

Arahal is a fundamental cornerstone of flamenco in the province of Seville. The Flamenco Festival, Al gurugú', Memorial Niña de los Peines, takes place every year in June. The “verde que te quiero verde” award is presented at this festival.

The Festival de Cante Jondo is one of the oldest festivals in the province of Seville.

This flamenco event is held in the month of July and is organised by the Peña Cultural Flamenca "El Niño de la Jara" with the collaboration of the Town Hall of Martín de la Jara, among other entities. 

The Festival began as a charity event held during the celebrations in honour of the patron saint, Saint Bartholomew. The parish priest, Enrique López Guerrero, sought to raise funds for the parish to cover the needs of the parish church. He proposed the organisation of a flamenco festival to Antonio Mairena, who has just won the III Llave de Oro del Cante Festival.
