Getting there and tickets
The final takes place on Sunday 8 November 2026 at 7 pm at the Gran Teatro de Córdoba, Avenida del Gran Capitán, 3, in the city centre. The theatre's listing publishes neither a price nor a sales link, so it is worth checking teatrocordoba.es before you go to find out how to get a seat. The gala is part of the programme of the Instituto Municipal de Artes Escénicas de Córdoba (IMAE). The competition's semi-finals are held in early October at another venue in the city.
