Drums and hippies in Cala Benirrás
Of a completely different caliber, Cala Benirrás, is an iconic bay where the so-called “drum down the sunset” takes place every Sunday evening. On this unique hippie beach, free spirits drum to the sunset, while visitors dance and sing to the music. Make sure to be on time, because this fabulous spectacle always attracts a lot of visitors and the road to Cala Benirrás is sometimes closed when crowds get too big. Going out in Spain has never been so much fun!
Heading out in Spain? Flamenco is not to be missed!
Flamenco originated in southern Spain and the region of Andalusia, which is home to the Costa del Sol, is especially well-known for it. The song and dance of Flamenco is seen as pure tradition and has even been granted world Heritage status by UNESCO – a great reason to take part in a real flamenco night! Performances take place throughout the country, during which you can enjoy the beautiful dresses worn by dancers, rhythmic clapping of the hands and accompanying guitar music.
Enjoy a real flamenco evening at Tablao de Carmen and El Cordobés in Barcelona, near the famous Costa Brava and Costa Dorada, among others. If you’re on holiday on the Costa del Sol, you can really immerse yourself in tradition in the cities of Granada or Sevilla, for example. Wherever you attend a flamenco show, make sure you book your entrance ticket in advance. The shows are very popular and if you wait until you get to the venue, there’s a good chance that the performance will be sold out.
Street entertainment: free fun on the street
Going out in Spain isn’t just about spending time in giant nightclubs or trendy bars. If you spend an afternoon or evening outdoors, you’ll notice a whole range of street artists pass by. From accordionists to magicians and from singers with rusty voices to future world stars. One artist could be in the middle of their performance, while another joins in ready to show their skills. Tip: Always keep some change in your pocket so you can make a small donation to these artists.
