Entertainment in Andalusia

As boredom seems to be the killer for many ex pats living in Spain it is worth checking out local activities. Even the smallest towns have lots of entertainment on offer.


The nearest Casa de Cultura is a good starting point, often with activities that are never advertised in the Tourist Information office.

Lots of shows are free, or very cheap, and it isn´t always necessary to have a great command of Spanish. Recent free concerts in Coin included a visit by the Moldavian Symphony Orchestra during their tour of Andalusia.

Last year´s theatre season provided the opportunity to see dance combining ballet and flamenco as well as a spoof Hamlet which had enough slapstick comedy to keep everyone laughing. A cheap Spanish lesson at 5 euros a ticket.

Saturday night sees the annual festival of International Dance. Again a free show.
