Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

This flamenco festival was launched in 2006 with the industries top flamenco artists. It is traditionally held in early August. It is organised by the Municipal Delegation of the Osuna City Council, together with the Peña Flamenca "La Seguiriya", the Andalusian Flamenco Institute, the Seville County Council and Radio Olé.

This Cultural Week is organised by the Peña Flamenca de Marchena, with activities focused on the world of flamenco. Each year, the Cultural Week is dedicated to a specific flamenco-related topic and/or singer.

The Marchena Guitar Festival first took place in July 1967. Currently, the Guitar Festival is held in Cardinal Spinola Square, and guitar enthusiasts from across Andalusia flock to the event. Marchena is one of many towns that, over the last 70 years, has encouraged the emergence of new “cante jondo” talent throughout Seville.

The Peña Flamenca de Marchena organises every year the “Cantes de Ida Vuelta con premio especial por colombianas” National Contest in memory of Pepe Marchena. The event is held with the support of different local institutions.

The contestants perform different flamenco “palos” (types of songs), with particular emphasis on “colombianas” which receive a special award. 

This contest takes place in Marchena in the early spring. Saetas have a long history and tradition in this town. 

In spring, flamenco music is delivered through the saeta. The saeta is an “a capella” form of singing performed by amateur and professional flamenco singers.

During its more than 20-year history, the “El Polvorón” flamenco festival has enlivened the summer nights with excellent flamenco performances. The winner of the festival receives the “Gold Polvorón” award. 

In the weeks leading up to the festival, the flamenco “peñas”, local flamenco enthusiast clubs, organise numerous events in which local artists perform.

The “Madrugá Flamenca” is organized by the City Council’s Culture Department and the County Council as part of the Cotton Festival. The event has a long tradition extending back to the year 1994.

It takes place in late September in the municipal fairground with numerous “cante jondo” artists, flamenco guitarist and dancers perform during the event.
