The festival has reached its 52nd edition and moves to the middle of July

The Nerja Caves Festival reaches its 52nd edition this year, with a budget of nearly 300,000 €, and will be held a week earlier than normal between July 13 and 17.

Flamenco singer Estrella Morente headlines along with the Argentinean tango of Julio Bocca.

Morente is well known across Spain coming from the famous Granada family of flamenco artistes.

Bocca will perform ‘De Burdel, Salon y Calle’ which is choreographed by the lead ballerina, Eleonora Cassano, and which is described as ‘a very aesthetic representation of the traditional tango’.

There will be two separate performances from Artists from the Prague Theatre Ballet, who will interpret sections from well known works such as Romeo and Juliet, Don Quixote, and Sleeping Beauty, among others.

The Radio Televisión Española Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Englishman, Adrian Leaper, will perform works from Delius, Mendelssohn and Mozart, accompanied by Vicente Coves on classical guitar.
