Listen for duende—place, people, and song entwined.


What to Know

  • Zambra: a local flamenco lineage with wedding‑rite roots.
  • Venues: choose small, acoustic spaces; avoid flash and chatter.
  • Museum caves: a good primer before a show.

Bottom Line

Music and hillside belong to each other—attend with care.
