The event celebrates its 50th edition this year

The Nerja Caves festival, held between July 21 and 27, reaches its 50th edition this year, and brings top headline stars to the dramatic underground stage.

Catalan singer songwriter, Joan Manuel Serrat, heads the festival with his show ‘100 por 100 Serrat’ on July 21.

Josep Carreras will bring his ‘Mediterranean Passion’ to the cave on July 23, when Italian songs dominate, but there is also space for Spanish Zarzuelaas. Carerras will be joined on stage by the Soprano, Ofelia Sala, and the Italian pianist Lorenzo Bavaj.

Flamenco lovers will be thrilled to hear the voice of the moment in the genre, Miguel Poveda, on July 22, who promises a wide range of musical styles including local malagueñas.

Stars and soloists from the Paris Opera Ballet also perform in the festival this year on the 24th and 25th of the month, and the event is closed on the 26th by the flamenco dancer, Sara Baras, who will perform a work in honour of Juana la Loca.

Ticket prices range between 50 and 60 € and are available only through the Nerja Cave office.
