Benalmadena is set to host the annual Quejigal festival, a celebration of Malaga's flamenco traditions, on Saturday, September 12. The event returns to the Recinto Ferial Los Nadales for its 23rd year, featuring a diverse lineup of musicians and dancers. Raices de Almogia verdiales, a group known for their traditional Malaga music, will lead the festivities.
Flamenco dancer Antonio de Veronica and singer-songwriter Juanfra Carrasco are also scheduled to perform. Verdiales, a style of flamenco combining music, singing, and dancing, is a cornerstone of the event. Other notable performers include singers Arcangel and Rancapino Chico, as well as dancers Pepe Torres and Ana Pastrana. The festival aims to preserve the authentic spirit of flamenco, which was recognized by UNESCO in 2010.
Free admission and refreshments will be available at the event, hosted by Benalmadena's Culture Department in collaboration with the Peña Flamenca La Repompa.
