In 2002 the first ‘Nuit Blanche’ took place in Paris, the brainchild of Jean Blaise who wanted towns and cities, for one night a year, to open their galleries and museums and other cultural venues for the whole night, and for the public spaces to be turned into giant performance areas where artists and musicians could perform in a wonderful carnival atmosphere. The ‘Nuit Blanche’ was a great success and since then has been an annual event, not only in Paris, but around the world.

In Nerja various events have been organised for this years Noche En Blanco on Saturday the 18th of May (2013), starting at 10am in the Museum and carrying on until late at night with a party in Plaza de Espana. This is the second year that Nerja has held a Noche en Blanco and the events have expanded greatly over last year’s, with entertainment, music, dancing, art and culture in various locations in the town throughout the day.

All events are free to attend – just turn up to the ones that interest you, but please note all lectures and workshops will be in Spanish. Programme of events below.
