Flamenco hits the Alps

Those taking a weekend break on a cross channel ferry will have the chance to combine two European countries in one next week.

A taste of Spain will be making its way to the Swiss Alps for a week-long flamenco festival, from October 7th to 14th. Partaking in the festival will be dancers from across the globe, along with musicians, all gathering at the Alhambra in Geneva.

The sights and sounds of Seville will be brought to those taking a trip to Geneva where they can also get a taste for the culture of Switzerland. As well as a selection of powerful performances, with traditional costume, hell-clicking and of course castanets, there will be various workshops to get involved in.

Films, talk and exhibitions will also be running for those interested in Spain and Flamenco to attend, as long as they can drag themselves away from the other offerings in Geneva.

Switzerland is a popular destination for those travelling on P&O ferries.
