Andalusia has a great deal to offer in terms of flamenco, as it is the region with the strongest tradition in all of Spain. And within its borders there are cities where this musical genre is practically a religion. Therefore, if this is one of the main reasons for your trip, in this article we cover four destinations that will make you thrill to their duende. <\/p>\n\n

Jerez de la Frontera, birthplace of the buler\u00eda<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n

Jerez de la Frontera is the birthplace of the buler\u00eda, the liveliest and most joyful palo. And for many, it is also the true Mecca of flamenco in general, felt in the atmosphere of historic neighbourhoods such as Santiago, San Mateo, or San Miguel. For this reason, if you are travelling to Andalusia for its flamenco, you should visit some of its most genuine tablaos, such as El Lagar del T\u00edo Parrilla or La Taberna Flamenca. What is more, the largest international festival dedicated to this music is held here, between February and March. <\/p>\n\n

Granada: cante jondo and zambras<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

In addition to being one of Andalusia\u2019s most beautiful cities, this city\u2019s flamenco is also reason enough to plan a trip there. Its appeal lies, on the one hand, in the venues where the shows take place: zambras, or caves in the Sacromonte neighbourhood and, to a lesser extent, in the Albaic\u00edn district of Granada<\/a>. And on the other, because it is considered the epicentre of cante jondo, the style of greatest passion and purity. Places such as La Plater\u00eda, Los Tarantos, or La Roc\u00edo will stay in your heart. <\/p>\n\n

\"Flamenco

C\u00f3rdoba: the capital of flamenco guitar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

In this Andalusian city, flamenco moves to the rhythm of the guitar, as it is considered the capital of this Spanish instrument. In fact, its Guitar Festival has been held since 1981, although it now also includes other styles, such as electric, acoustic, or classical. El Cardenal and the Patio de la Juder\u00eda are among its most central and distinctive tablaos. <\/p>\n\n

Seville: the city with the greatest variety<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n

As the capital and most populous city of Andalusia, the flamenco you will find here is probably the most varied, including venues that experiment with fusion. However, if what you want is a 100% genuine experience, with venues and people devoted to this genre, you should lose yourself in the Triana neighbourhood. Although some historic tablaos have closed, flamenco remains very present in traditional taverns and in bailaor academies, such as La Flamenquer\u00eda. It is no coincidence that it has a style of its own: the sole\u00e1 de Triana. <\/p>\n\n

Other <\/strong>Andalusian cities with flamenco<\/strong> in abundance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

In addition to these four major flamenco cities, you can experience this musical genre intensely in many others. For example, in C\u00e1diz <\/a>itself and other towns in the province, such as Sanl\u00facar de Barrameda, San Fernando\u2014the birthplace of Camar\u00f3n de la Isla\u2014or Algeciras, where Paco de Luc\u00eda was born. The province of Seville also has well-known towns, such as Utrera or Lebrija. M\u00e1laga, for its part, is another important city for its variety and tradition, as are places in its metropolitan area such as Torremolinos. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
