I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain.
The Teatro Falla, “the house of the blushing bricks,” owes its unique charm to the unusual reddish hue of its façade. Nestled in the El Mentidero neighborhood in the Plaza Fragela, the Teatro Falla is a splendid specimen of Neo-Mudejar architecture.
Not only does it take center stage during the city’s lively carnival in February, but it also hosts a diverse array of performances, encompassing theater, music, dance, and opera throughout the year.
