Murcia to host flamenco festival

05th August 2008

Murcia in south-east Spain is set to host one of the year's biggest celebrations of flamenco traditions later this month. The historic area of the country, which is already popular as a destination for people taking holidays in Spain, is to host the Cante de las Minas Festival from the 7th until the 16th of August. A variety of venues, including spectacular halls will be alive with the unmistakable sounds of Spanish flamenco guitar and dancing feet. Everything on show will be authentically flamenco as the locals and visitors enjoy the ambiance and celebrate with a range of exhibitions, dances and wine-tastings. The official tourist office for holidays in Spain describes the upcoming event as "the world's most important annual flamenco festival". For those who prefer a slightly more relaxed pursuit such as golfing or playing tennis while on holiday in Spain, there is always La Manga Club, not far down the coast from Murcia.
