If you want to see some authentic flamenco and not a show put on for tourists, then go and visit La Chumbera in the Sacromonte area of Granada. On Saturday evening at 21.30 hours, MUJERES ANONIMAS (CHUA ALBA) will be performing. Tickets are 7 euros each and can be purchased at the door. Get there early to make sure you get a good seat in the centre of the auditorium. The back of the stage is a wall of glass that looks out to the Alhambra, which is illuminated at night. It is truly a spectacular back drop. To find La Chumbera, it is easiest to take a taxi once you are in downtown Granada.

This Friday and Saturday at 20:30, the Zarcillo restaurant in Motril and Ron Montero organize an unique Gastronomic Day where master rum-makers (maestros roneros) from Motril will offer you incredible rum samples with a gastronomic menu from the cook Álvaro García.

During the whole of Semana Santa (Holy Week), street processions are organised in most Spanish towns each evening, from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday.
People carry statues of saints around on floats or wooden platforms. The religious fraternities and brotherhoods are responsible for carrying the statues and organising the penitents and musicians. All these processions are carried out in an atmosphere of mourning. The people who carry the weight of the floats are called "costaleros" and are expected to carry these "tronos" with solemnity and grace.

A group of sporty people and nature lovers is organizing routes through attractive places of the varied geography of our wonderful Costa Tropical. If you want to be close to nature and if you like walking, this is for you! The next route for this month of March will take place on Sunday 28th and will be exploring the area of Jayena-Arenas del Rey (near Padul, on the way to Granada). It will last between 4 and 5 hours, and the level is medium-low. All these trips are open to people who are able to walk. However, to have a minimum habit of walking is preferable.
