1Dear Jim:
You ought to come to the Festival de Jerez sometime. No, it’s not also called the “International Flamenco Festival”, no, flamenco dancers “from around the world” do not perform, the afterhours places feature locals and amateurs and the Plaza Romero Martínez is NOT “another” location, but the same Villamarta theater you cite.
The reality is much more interesting than your fantasies.

4Dear Jim,
Your post is really useful for me – I have a bed and breakfast a bit further east from you right by the huge lake in Iznájar, and one of my frustrations is always getting access to information sooner than the day before something happens in order to let guests know in advance of what they can do with their time here. So thank you for putting that up – it proves my cousin right that trawling through Blogs brings about amazing results! And it makes no difference to me if it is accurate or not, because you put the official weblink there!
Thanks again!
