The Festival Ciutat Flamenco is an unmissable annual event for contemporary flamenco music and dance. Every spring, Barcelona becomes the centre for fresh, innovative takes on this art form, blending experimentation with respect for tradition. This is no postcard festival: here, rhythm is felt, played, danced and transformed. Established performers share the stage with emerging talent, while conferences and competitions open flamenco to new audiences.
This is good to know
The programme blends classical and experimental works, combining dance and music in a single showcase. This fusion has made it a leading example of avant-garde flamenco in Europe.
Performances take place in a variety of venues, from intimate theatres to contemporary arts centres, reflecting its commitment to breaking down barriers between genres, formats and audiences.
Beyond performances, it sometimes hosts conferences, debates and educational activities, reinforcing its role as a space for reflection and sharing the art of flamenco.
