The programme also makes it possible to attend several events without buying a ticket for the main shows.<\/p>\n<p>Between 2 and 8 September, the programme includes <em>La noche azul<\/em>, <em>La noche de las gitanas<\/em>, <em>Cuesti\u00f3n de tiempo<\/em>, the 2nd Macarena Flamenca Festival, the stage tribute to Fosforito <em>Nazareno y Olivares<\/em> and the first screening in the film series <em>Flamencas<\/em>.

Parallel programming is more susceptible to changes in times, locations or reservation systems than performances with numbered tickets. The film series is a good example: the Three Cultures Foundation has updated the order of the films compared with the first published calendars.<\/p>\n<p>And if you are spending several days in Seville, this preliminary week can be used to combine heritage, public activities and live flamenco before the festival reaches its greatest intensity from the 9th and especially on 10 and 11 September.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_huge color_alternate with_shape\"><div class=\"l-section-shape type_zigzag pos_top hor_flip\" style=\"height:3vmin;\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 8\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\">\r\n\t<path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M64 8 L0 8 L0 0 L20 7.9 L40 3 L48 5 L64 0 Z\"\/>\r\n<\/svg><\/div><div class=\"l-section-shape type_zigzag pos_bottom\" style=\"height:3vmin;\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 8\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\">\r\n\t<path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M64 8 L0 8 L0 0 L20 7.9 L40 3 L48 5 L64 0 Z\"\/>\r\n<\/svg><\/div><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-1\/5 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-3\/5 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Frequently asked questions about the days before the 2026 Biennial<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs accordion toggle_style_1 has_scrolling\" style=\"--sections-title-size:inherit;--sections-gap:0.5rem;\"><div class=\"w-tabs-sections titles-align_none icon_plus cpos_left\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"o272\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-o272\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><h3 class=\"w-tabs-section-title\" itemprop=\"name\">When does the 2026 Seville Flamenco Biennial really begin?<\/h3><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-o272\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\" itemprop=\"text\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The official dates of the 24th Flamenco Biennial are from 9 September to 3 October 2026, but the activities linked to this edition begin earlier.
