The magic of flamenco awaits you in a unique event held every two years in Seville: the Flamenco Biennial . This is the most important international event for this supremely Spanish art form, which has been declared Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. It usually takes place in September, in several venues spread throughout the city. You can experience that special duende or feeling in extraordinary ven- ues like the patios in the Real Alcázar and the theatre of La Maestranza.

Here you can enjoy the concerts and activities organised for the Jerez Flamenco Festival and discover the real essence of Andalusian music. L L www.turismojerez.com
