About
Held every even-numbered year, the Bienal de Flamenco is the world's foremost flamenco festival, filling Seville's theatres, courtyards and tablaos with the genre's leading artists.
Highlights
- The most important flamenco festival in the world, in the city that codified the art.
- Programmes range from intimate cante recitals to large staged productions.
- A rare chance to see the genre's leading dancers, singers and guitarists in one season.
Practical tips
- Book marquee shows as soon as the programme is announced; they sell out.
- Mix a big theatre production with a small tablao night for contrast.
- Check the official site for the confirmed 2026 calendar and venues.

Granada International Festival of Music and Dance 2026
One of Europe's oldest classical-music festivals stages a month of concerts, ballet and recitals in the incomparable setting of the Alhambra's palaces and gardens, plus venues across Granada. The 75th edition runs from June into July.
Velá de Santiago y Santa Ana 2026 — Triana
Triana's beloved summer street fiesta honours the district's patroness, Santa Ana, with six days of riverside revelry on Calle Betis and Plaza del Altozano. Nightly concerts, stalls and the daring 'cucaña' — a greased pole jutting over the Guadalquivir — define this most quintessentially Sevillian of celebrations.
Assumption of Mary (Spain)
The Feast of the Assumption on 15 August is a national public holiday and one of the high points of the Spanish summer, with patron-saint ferias in many towns. In Seville it falls during the sweltering, quieter August low season.
