We visited this event the 20th of August, entry fee is 10€, it starts at 22:00. See the whole program here.

We were like every year quite pleased. ‘Viernes Flamenco’ has a unique atmosphere: The local people are mixed with a few tourists and so the audience responds/interacts well with the performers.

See the recording we did on that event:

Last week (19th August 2010) we have been in Sanlucar de Barrameda to visit some of the traditional yearly horse races at the beach. This races are celebrated always in August.
More infos you get on spanish_flag http://www.carrerassanlucar.es.


It’s amazing, people are bathing or laying on the beach and a few metres further horses are racing in a shut off part of the beach. At the finishing line the promoter built a closed area with VIP lounge. The entrance fee was 12€. From the grandstand there we made the video.
At the promenade we enjoyed the party, just the mosquitoes liked us a bid too much.
Sanlucar is may be 25 km from Jerez, a nice daytrip from Casa Rosaleda!
