every Thursday night in summer in Baluarte de la Candelaria, Cadiz old town, overlooking the Bay

2005

Apart from a small commercial tablao in the old town, there are two large outside flamenco venues in the old part of Cadiz, both close to each other and virtually overlooking the Bay of Cadiz:

Baluarte de la Candelaria and the Teatro de Verano.

The Teatro de Verano is set in beautiful botanical gardens and occasionally hosts flamenco dance and song.

Teatro de Verano

Saturday 27th August 2005

impromptu bulerias during the interval outside. The rhythm is infectious.

Final of Alegrias dance competition

the group category prize went to Cordoba:

Guest performance of the famous FARRUCO family

The second half of the programme did not disappoint anybody despite a long wait. The Farruco family must have danced around two hours....finishing at 3.00 am, but in a temperate cool night air, it was just perfect for dance.

Mostly bulerias, he certainly got the girls screaming from the audience...

Baluarte de la Candelaria

Jueves Flamencos Cadiz
Flamenco Thursdays
from mid July to end August 2005 (10pm)

even a big screen is set up by the bar so you miss none of the performance...

Jueves Flamencos (Flamenco Thursdays) are organised by the Peña Flamenca el Mellizo de Cadiz (Flamenco Club) together with the Town Council each year.

The Jueves Flamencos are held in the Baluarte de la Candelaria, through the old town across the cobbled stone roads, but keep the Bay of Cadiz on your right.

Most perfomers are singers, but each night has a dance group in the middle of the programme, so be prepared to sit up late on hard chairs, or stand at the sides.
