• Flamenco Clubs in Granada - My Top Five
  To fully experience Granada flamenco in the live, raw state, you can't do better than to head along to one of the flamenco clubs of Granada. Here are my top five clubs....


• Flamenco in the Alhambra 1
  The Poema del Cante Jondo was performed in the Alhambra as "Flamenco Ballet". It has the fire of the gypsy, the extraordinary singing of the cantores (singers), and also contains choreographed sections where the dancers stamp, flick and enthrall us all with synchronised movements..


• Flamenco in the Alhambra 2
  The Poeta en Nuevo York was inspired by the poems and writings of Lorca when he stayed in New York at Columbia University. Twenty dancers express Garcia's emotions as he sought to come to terms with Wall Street, Harlem and the extremes of abundance and poverty of "The Big Apple"..


• Flamenco In The Alhambra 3
  Heed this good Granada info and enjoy a magical night of Lorca's Romancero Gitano (Gypsy Ballads) flamenco in the Alhambra open air theatre.


• Garcia Lorca's Poems
  Garcia Lorca poems evoke such feelings in me! It is no wonder that this poet - killed in such a cowardly fashion some 73 years ago - still lives on in the hearts and minds of people all over the world..


• Lorca at the Alhambra
  In Granada we now have a new annual tradition - a production of a Lorca play in the Generalife, the beautiful gardens that are part of the Alhambra palace.


• Nightlife in Granada
  Whether you just want to go for tapas and entertainment, or you prefer to stay out all night long, this page will help you decide what to do. And where to go.

• Granada drinking water
  Los Limoneros is not on "mains" water. We have our own well of spring water... but is the Granada water supply in danger of being ruined by bottled water plants?
