La Unión is an inland former mining town behind Cartagena, in the hills of the Sierra Minera where lead and silver were once dug out of the rock — a heritage that gave birth to its own raw, work-worn style of flamenco. It's not a beach town at all, but for a few weeks each summer it becomes one of the most important places in the flamenco world.
