"Music in my favourite city. How wonderful""
The 59th International Granada Festival of Music and Dance promises to be the best dance and music festival yet.

Literally thousands of people congregate to the city for the four weeks that the Festival lasts for. And the artists, bands, groups and visitors all combine to change the entire spirit of the city while they are there. It is a truly amazing experience to be part of.

The Festival lasts from 24th June to 14th July and the music starts at 10.00 a.m on the first day with the group Scatter. They will be performing on the various bus routes of Granada.
