Don’t miss the festival in Nerja

If you’re going to Nerja for your Spanish course this summer, then don’t miss out on the town’s fantastic festivals! Flamenco, opera, ballet, gospel and jazz… whatever your tastes, Nerja has a concert for you! You can buy your tickets to some of the best concerts at the school office, such as the José Mercé concert. Who is José Mercé? Well, he’s one of the great flamenco artists of modern times, and he’s coming to Nerja Thursday 26 July. A regular to Andalucía’s summer festivals, José started his recording career at the age of 13 and now is perhaps the most successful singer on the flamenco scene.

The office at the school in Nerja can also help you get your tickets for the other concerts that form part of the Festival de las Cuevas de Nerja which takes place in July. The Los Angeles Jubilee Singers open the festival on July 24 – expect a repertoire based on gospel and jazz. Then, on July 25, watch out for the singer Martirio – Nerja’s favourite Cuban singer. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a ticket to the Vienna Opera Ballet on July 27 and 28. Eight stars and soloists will perform to the music of Chopin and Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Mozart and Ravel

Well, hope to see you there
