International Dances in Portugalete

The 39th edition of the Portugalete Flag in Portugalete will begin on 24 July. The Folklore International Festival, although previously, on 21, the participants have offered the Munduko Dantzak show. Benin, Galicia, Kalmykia, one of the republics that make up the Russian Federation, the groups coming from Canada, Peru and Turkey, together with the festival organizer, Elai Alai, will act until 27 July at 21:30 pm on the Canilla. They have therefore chosen a new scenario, but as in previous years, it is also on the street. As usual, it will be free for the public; always to thank, let us not say, at the moment.

The Elai Alai group organized for the first time in 1972 the San Sebastian International Folklore Festival. After a three-year pause following Franco's death, the festival began in 1980. Since then it has continued to grow and we have already become accustomed to enjoying half a dozen dance groups from almost every continent every year in the shadow of the Suspension Bridge. In the photo below you can see the group of Indonesia that came to Portugalete in the 2011 edition.
