Christmas, a very special season in the province of Cadiz
The Christmas season in the province of Cádiz is experienced with a unique blend of tradition and joy. Christmas takes on a special character, combining local customs with the festive spirit of the season.
The streets of Conil are festively lit, creating a cosy atmosphere that invites residents and visitors alike to immerse themselves in the magic of Christmas. The special thing about the festive season in this region, however, is the tradition of the zambombas.
Zambombas are festive gatherings where flamenco music and singing take centre stage. This musical genre, which has its roots in Andalusian culture, comes to life during the Christmas time. The zambomba, a traditional percussion instrument, is accompanied by clapping and creates a lively and energetic atmosphere.
In Conil, the zambombas take place in courtyards, squares and tabancos, the typical venues of the region. These gatherings are not only an artistic expression, but also an opportunity to share special moments with friends and family to the rhythm of traditional songs.
An example would be the courtyard of the bar "Peña Flamenca Conil" on 16/12/2013 at 13h. You can find more dates for this year below.
