Where it goes

Triana
The quarter across the Guadalquivir where a good share of flamenco's forms were born. You cross by the Isabel II bridge and walk it.
Museo del Baile Flamenco
Founded by Cristina Hoyos. It explains the palos and also programmes a performance in the courtyard at night.
Casa de la Memoria
An intimate show, no dinner and no microphones, in a fifteenth-century courtyard. Very few seats: book the same day, but early.
Alcalá de Guadaíra y la tradición de la soleá
15 km out, this is where one of the mother forms of the cante was fixed. The town runs flamenco seasons off the tourist circuit.
Talleres de guitarra flamenca
Several workshops in the centre still build by hand and take visitors. It is flamenco's other half, the one nobody dances.

La Alhambra
Tickets for the Nasrid Palaces carry an exact time and sell out weeks ahead. Without that specific ticket you do not see the palaces, only the grounds.
Zambras del Sacromonte
Flamenco in the caves of the Roma quarter, not in a theatre. The zambra is the form native to here, with the audience seated against the cave wall.
Museo Cuevas del Sacromonte
Cave houses kept as they were lived in. It explains where the zambra comes from before you go and see one.
Albaicín y el mirador de San Nicolás
The Moorish quarter facing the Alhambra, and the view that frames it with the Sierra Nevada behind. It fills up at sunset.
El Generalife
The sultans' pleasure gardens, on the hill opposite. It is included in the general Alhambra ticket.

Barrio de Santiago
The cradle of a large part of Jerez's cante. It is a living neighbourhood, not a set piece: walk it by day.
Centro Andaluz de Flamenco
The public flamenco archive, with historic recordings you can consult. Free entry.
Festival de Jerez
Two weeks in February and March with the best dance line-up of the year. If the trip is about flamenco, that is the date.
Bodegas de jerez
The wine the city gives its name to, aged by the solera system. Almost every historic bodega runs a visit with a tasting.
