Mediterranean Flamenco Festival in Alicante: November Lineup & Details

Mediterranean Flamenco Festival Starts Tonight in Alicante

A Alicante Mediterranean Flamenco Festival opens tonight at 20:30 with a performance by María Terremoto, a celebrated cantaora who won the Giraldillo Revelation prize at Seville Biennale in 2016. The show continues on Saturday, October 22 with young bailaor Eduardo Guerrero, giving audiences a strong start to this year’s program.

Following them, the lineup includes humorist Juan Luis Cano on November 5, singer Mayte Martín on November 12, and flamenco dancer Patricia Guerrero on November 25. All concerts take place at the Fundación Mediterráneo Alicante center, located at Avda. Doctor Gadea, 1. Tickets are available through the festival’s official channel and at the venue box office.

María Terremoto, recognized for her impact on modern flamenco, performs a show titled “Flamenco.” Her career traces back to Jerez de la Frontera, where she is part of a lineage that includes Fernando Terremoto and Terremoto de Jerez. In her twenties, she has become a prominent figure in today’s flamenco scene, masterfully navigating styles like soleá, bulería, fandango, and cantiñas with a contemporary edge.

Juan Luis Cano is a journalist, writer, and humorist.

On October 22, Bailaor Eduardo Guerrero, born in Cádiz, presents a show conceived as a lighthouse-inspired tour that visits select flamingo venues across Spain. The production emphasizes movement and costume color, offering a stream of flamenco styles and reinterpretations of classic songs. The staging is intentionally minimalist to highlight choreography.

Eduardo Guerrero recently earned the 2022 Lorca Flamenco Prize. His work is noted for avant-garde, boundary-pushing dance performed worldwide, marking a milestone in contemporary flamenco.
