Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

flamenco

The Festival de Cante Jondo is one of the oldest festivals in the province of Seville.

This flamenco event is held in the month of July and is organised by the Peña Cultural Flamenca "El Niño de la Jara" with the collaboration of the Town Hall of Martín de la Jara, among other entities. 

The “Ciudad de Carmona” National Flamenco Song Contest has been held in this town in the province of Seville since 1982.  It is organised by the “Amigos de la Guitarra” Cultural Flamenco Association and sponsored by various institutions.

The Festival began as a charity event held during the celebrations in honour of the patron saint, Saint Bartholomew. The parish priest, Enrique López Guerrero, sought to raise funds for the parish to cover the needs of the parish church. He proposed the organisation of a flamenco festival to Antonio Mairena, who has just won the III Llave de Oro del Cante Festival.

Declared an Andalusian Festival of Tourist Interest.
