Residents of Nerja and its surrounding area will be able to enjoy the eleventh anniversary of Lorca y Granada en los Jardines del Generalife, a unique Granada cultural event.

This year’s event is a double-bill spectacular and will combine an homage to Lorca along with an ode to the flamenco world. In the world premiere of Garcia Lorca’s work, Llanto por Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, choreographer and director Rubén Olmo presents his admiration for Granada and one of Spain’s favourite sons, Federico García Lorca.

Metáfora Flamenca, choreographed by Rubén Olmo specifically for the Flamenco Ballet of Andalucia, explores the human condition of inquiry, curiosity and exploration through romances, tangos and bulerías.

The Flamenco Ballet of Andalucia will return to the Alhambra stage with special guest performers, Antonio Canales and Pastora Galván, and will also introduce some brand new talent to seasoned audience members.

This year there will be two coach trips – Friday 27 July and Saturday 25 August. The trip ticket includes the Lorca y Granada event ticket and return coach transportation from Nerja.

The coach leaves the Verano Azul Parking at 18.00. Tickets are 30€ and are available at La Tienda, or “Jimmy’s” immediately across from the Nerja Post Office and Clinica Santa Cecilia, Calle Los Huertos, 46.

The Lorca y Granada en los Jardines del Generalife coach trip is part of an ongoing collaboration between the Nerja Cultural Centre and RSA 87.8fm.
