“We are in the Spanish south. The castanets click from coast to coast, the cicada hum through the night, the air is heavy with jasmine and orange blossom… the girls have black eyes and undulating carriages.” – Jan Morris, ‘Spain’
Some pictures that I have picked up along the way, pictures of pictures in bars and restaurants…

So much in history needs to be explain in modern Spain. Flamenco is Andalucian not From the other Spain.😉

Interesting therefore that there were several flamenco shows in Barcelona. Interesting also that the tourist shops sold Don Quixote mementos and he had nothing to do with Catalonia. Blurring the edges?

yes tourism has its way but nothing traditional in Barcelona Catalunya from flamenco, tapas AND bullfights it is illegal there. there is the Sardagna, from my area is the guanche wresling and Ida not flamenco etc but of course if you go to the tourist zones you see them all money talk bs walk my friend!

We enjoy taking in Flamenco dances. The dancers and musicians are typically from Andalucia. One of the best performances was at a Finca with dancing Andalucian horses as well.

Such good illustrations of the fiery rhythms of Flamenco. Red and black are the only colours that express it. I’m often surprised to see Flamenco dancers dressed in green and white, it seems so alien.

I saw a show where the dancer was in yellow. It worked quite well but I agree red is best.

It certainly is a sensuous dance, and one I couldn’t do for the life of me. Pity that might have one a few hearts or something 👿

I think it is a dance for younger people Brian. No offence!

I was somewhat of a very good dancer as a young man even as a middle aged man. I never was refused by a lady, when requesting the pleasure of the next dance, except for my wives, neither of whom could dance.
None taken Andrew 😀
