The theatre season gets underway in October and generally lasts through until June. Over the course of these months, Andalusia’s theatres present excellent productions, with performances by Spain’s best theatre companies. There are also shows from many amateur companies.

As with the rest of Spain, there tends to be less theatre during the summer. The majority of theatres organise festivals, dance shows and concerts to fill in the gaps in drama performances, given that most companies are on holiday during the summer months.

Some entertainment venues such as bars and clubs offer shows by stand-up artists, magicians and comedians in summer – one more reason to head out for an evening drink.
