Seville enchants

flamenco

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 “Ciudad de Carmona” National Flamenco Song Contest has been held in this town in the province of Seville since 1982.  It is organised by the “Amigos de la Guitarra” Cultural Flamenco Association and sponsored by various institutions.

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.

Declared an Andalusian Festival of Tourist Interest.
