Routes of Andalusian Flamencos - The MINING ROUTE: JAEN AND ALMERIA





Flamenco singing arrives to Jaen thanks to the mining boom, the centre of creation being the Unares-La Carolina main area.
The taranta singing arose from Almeria and it is mainly attributed to Rojo el Alpargatero, who probably rewrote the so-called cantes de madruga with other local flamenco styles.

LINARES
It is from penas such as El Cabrerillo that flamenco artists such as master Carmen Unares emerge.

OBEDA, BAEZA AND JAÉN

Visiting the towns of Ubeda and Baeza and the city of Jaen is a must, since they represent the Andalusian Renaissance, and also the natural spots of the mountain ranges in Andujar, Despeiiaperros and Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas natural park.

SILES AND LA PUERTA DE SEGURA
The fandangos from La Puerta de Segura, and the jotas from Siles, explain the influence of this province in the creation of levantinos styles. There are other flamenco styles such as temporeras, the aceitunera being one of the most popular ones.

AGUADULCE
You must walk along Paseo de los Castaños, where flamenco artist Tomatito got inspired for his most recent creations.

SERON, VERA, NIJAR, ADRA, PATERNA AND LAUJAR
This is a land of fandangos -from Adra to Nijar, from Balerma to Laujar, from Seron to Vera they are danced and singed everywhere.
Many theorists think that the petenera singing was created in Patema del Rio.
The Torregarcia area spot and its hermitage -on the coast of Almeria, near Cabo de Gata- is equally important, as it is frequentiy mentioned in old taranto lyrics. ALMERIA
El Taranto flamenco pena, the Gerundino's workshop, one of the most important craftsmen in the flamenco guitar's history, and the Casa Museo de Manuel Torre, are some of the flamenco enclaves in the city.
