That continuity already places it in a different category from occasional series. The combination of a competition, an organising pe\u00f1a, a cultural programme and institutional support has allowed it to build its own identity around flamenco singing.<\/p>\n<p>Its location in Lorca adds another point of interest. Flamenco in south-eastern Spain has its own historical development, connected with mining and eastern Spanish styles and with areas that are sometimes left outside narratives focused more heavily on Seville, C\u00e1diz or Jerez. The programme\u2019s attention to those styles and to research into the lorquina strengthens that local character.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Memory, research and new voices<\/h2>\n<p>The recovery \u2014or at least the study\u2014 of disappeared forms such as the lorquina may be one of the most valuable aspects in the medium term. A festival does not preserve flamenco only when it books artists: it also does so when it documents repertoires, generates research, creates context for fans and opens listening spaces for new voices.<\/p>\n<p>That is why the 2026 edition is worth following both for the competition result and for the programme as a whole. The new Margarita Lozano Auditorium concentrates the most visible part, but the festival itself spreads across different Lorca venues from September onwards, combining competition, outreach, memory and performance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_huge\"><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-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Official sources and planning<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lorca.es\/noticias\/noticias.asp?idn=20305\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lorca City Council: presentation of the 35th edition and 2026 programme<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lorca.es\/noticias\/noticias.asp?idn=20169\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lorca City Council: call for entries and general rules of the 2026 competition<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flamencolorca.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pe\u00f1a Cultural Flamenca Ciudad del Sol<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"w-hwrapper valign_top wrap align_center\" style=\"--hwrapper-gap:1.2rem\"><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flamencolorca.es\/\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Official Ciudad del Sol Festival website<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1\" href=\"\/?page_id=10462\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">See flamenco in Murcia<\/span><\/a><\/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\" 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 id=\"faq\">Frequently asked questions about the Ciudad del Sol Lorca Festival 2026<\/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_chevron cpos_right\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"x45d\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-x45d\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">When is the Ciudad del Sol Lorca Festival 2026?<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-x45d\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The qualifying rounds will take place on 12, 19 and 26 September and 3 October 2026.
