IX Spanish Music Festival in Cadiz

AurigaCrown Car Hire offers their clients ideas on different events and places to visit during their stay in Spain. In this article some insights into Cadiz and the Spanish Music Festival.

The Spanish Music Festival in Cadiz celebrates its ninth birthday. Once again, during the second half of November, coinciding with the anniversary of the birth of Manuel de Falla in this city, composer par excellence, Cadiz will enjoy a great number of musical activities: concerts, workshops, exhibitions, publications, didactic concerts, discussion forums ... in short: during ten days the city becomes the reference centre for Spanish music, and as a natural extension, for Latin American music.

Run by the the Culture Board of the Regional Government of Andalusia, the festival has as its main basis the presence of the four institutional orchestras of Andalusia (Granada, Córdoba, Seville and Malaga), together with different orchestral ensembles, chamber groups and internationally recognized soloists, that work on the recuperation of the musical patrimony, the performance of new repertoires and the creation of new audiences.

Apart from the concerts, other activities cover a broad thematic ground, including workshops, professional meetings, courses and exhibitions, all of them with the common objective of turning the Spanish Music Festival of Cadiz into the annual meeting point around Spanish musical creativity.

The Spanish music festival is held from November 18th till 26th 2011, at the Gran Teatro Falla Cadiz. More information on programme, tickets and prices.

All Saints Day in Cadiz

AurigaCrown Car Hire offers their clients ideas on different events and places to visit during their stay in Spain. In this article some insights into Cadiz and All Saints Day, a large affair in Cadiz.

As everyone must know, November 1st is All Saints Day and despite the fact that Halloween gains more prominence each year, traditional celebrations are still taking place. On October 31st Cadiz fills with people for the Feast of the Markets with food stalls, good humour and satire.

The decorated market stalls line the city streets, often depicting current events and selling all manner of local food and wine. The vendors go disguised, dress up their products like creating puppets with their vegetables and fruits, etc. In this way each stall intents to represent a current issue or event in a satirical and humorous way. And they can join in the contest for adorned stalls of the city´s municipal markets. A jury will be awarding the top three places in each category: Meat, Fish, Fruits, Vegetables, and Miscellaneous.

Further, since a couple of years there are also conferences and festivals with lectures, audiovisual presentations, tastings, fun parades, flamenco performances, children´s activities, magic shows and more throughout the festival period.

As a true Andalusian celebration, traditional food will not be missing: of course with the local products of excellent quality. At All Saints Day, it is considered that the summer climate has ended which is celebrated with the presentation of seasonal ingredients as walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, cherries, figs, oranges, potatoes, sweet potatoes, custard apples, avocados, olives, but meats and fish are also present, plus a number of pastries and sweets. A variety of products of great quality.
