The Marbella City Theater will host this Friday, November 21, at 8:00 PM, the XIX Sierra Blanca Flamenco Festival featuring performances by singers Iván Chaskio, Remedios Reyes, Chato de Málaga, and José Tomé, along with the flamenco group of José Lucena. The General Director of Culture, Carmen Díaz, presented a new edition "of a traditional event in the town each autumn" and highlighted "the extraordinary work of the Sierra Blanca Club in promoting this art, not only within the municipality but also among students."

"This was the case, among others, last week to commemorate the International Day of Flamenco, which was on November 16th, with all educational centers visiting their headquarters every morning to explore this discipline eagerly," she noted.
