Music and Dance Program in the Nerja Caves 2024
The Dance and Music Festival in the Nerja Caves started in 1960 and has featured world-renowned artists such as José Carreras and Paco de Lucía. Each year, there is a comprehensive program with artists performing music or dance. Warm summer evenings with mild breezes, an outdoor concert/dance – could it get any better?
