A series of public performances are set to turn the city of Valencia into a paradise for art-lovers over the next two weeks, it has emerged.

The latest instalment of the VEO festival will see a number of theatrical performances, musical recitals and experimental dance events take place on the streets of the city, Communitat Valenciana reports.

According to the website, these performances are sure to “differ greatly from what theatregoers are used to seeing on stage” and aim to “create a very special link between actors and spectators”.

More traditional performances will also take place in theatres across Valencia, including the Teatro Musical, Sala Almudin and Matilde Salvador Hall.

For those who prefer to enjoy their cultural activity in the open air, outdoor events at Patriarca square, L’Almoina and Marxalenes park are also scheduled as part of the festival.

Communitat Valenciana states that, from now until February 24th, Valencia is “a city conquered by art”.

Fans of British music in southern Spain got a treat last month when ex-Suede singer Brett Anderson appeared at the Teatro Cervantes in Malaga - the only performance in Spain on his current tour.
