Centro Andaluz del Flamenco
If you want to learn more about the culture of flamenco, or pick up information on upcoming shows, drop in to the beautiful old Palacio Pemartín in the Santiago district, the cradle of Jerez flamenco. Primarily an academic center—the atmosphere is rarefied and reverent—it holds the world’s largest public archive of books, scores, and performance videos of flamenco. Paintings and projections convey the duende (spirit) of performance and the strains of bulerías and soleares drift into an idyllic courtyard. In the foyer you’ll find details of upcoming shows, festivals, and classes. Ask the staff for advice—they will be delighted you’re interested in Andalucía’s great art form.
