Afternoon Lecture was presented by D. Andrés Cansino (Professor and flamenco guitarist) entitled "The relationship between artists and flamenco clubs." It reported its inception linked to flamenco clubs and stressed the importance of these for all artists in their early career and for du. Andrew said that in general, relations are very good but always depending on aspects personal. He also went on to say that among the club members and the artists must be respect and mutual understanding. Scenarios must see fit, as far as possible, so that artists can work best: improving, especially, pagers and tablaos for dancing.

1. There was unanimity that there is no gap between the rocks and entertainers, relations are good, what happens is that circumstances are changing and as they grow artistically and professionally I have less time to visit the rocks and relate to them.
2. There must be understanding between the clubs and artists.
On the morning of Sunday, D. Red Gonzalo Guerrero presented his lecture "The press and the flamenco" in which revealed that the traditional flamenco, and with rare exceptions, not only aroused little interest in the media but had very bad press "addressing in particular to highlight the" negative "aspects of the cultural world. Today not much has changed the situation and flamenco remains the most overlooked, and sometimes mistreated by the media who prefer commercial and monetary concerns local news front of flamenco.
Later in the roundtable "The media and the rocks", made by D. Gonzalo Rojo (Journalist and Critic Flamenco), D. Antonio Núñez Romero (President of the Federation of Peñas Flamenco de Cádiz), D. Valero Francisco Vargas (writer and critic Flamenco) and D. Juan Perez Cubillo (Advisory Flamencology University of Córdoba) were taken, among others, the following conclusions:
1. That flamenco news of the rocks are not interested in the media
2. must be made to see the media Flemish news if attracting a large audience, which we ourselves (350 rocks, with two hundred members on average are only about 70,000 people in Andalusia)
3. Only digital magazines publish virtually everything they are sent.
4. There is a need to create an information service to the media since the federations themselves and try to involve the media in our activities.
