Andalucia.
So one night in Granada Me Pirateship,S. and I we went to a flamenco show in the gitano quarter of Granada. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gitano Althogh a touch touristy...it WAS the real thing...though only four of the eight dancers were actually good dancers. The closest I can get to it to give you an idea of the sound, energy and feel to it is this:
As you can see Flamenco is a very passionate dance with a sexual energy to it that was fairly lost on the audience we were with. Cortes says it here pretty good I think. :-)))
I had a chance to see Joaquin Cortes in London about six years ago and I remember saying I wasn't 'interested' *LOL* How stupid was I? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joaqu%C3%ADn_Cort%C3%A9s
Another pic...cause I have failed dismally on my attempt at a slide show. Oh well.
