Flamenco Dancing in Seville, Spain

We left Morocco behind for Spain and hopefully better weather. We took the ferry from Tangier to Tarif and then took the bus to Algeciras before taking a bus and train to Granada. Quite the travelling involved in that one day but well worth it to reach Spain. After a couple of nights in Granada we headed off to Seville by bus. We left the hostel at 9:30 am hoping to catch the 10 am bus and it felt like we were in Amazing Race as we only had about 5 min to get the tickets when we arrived at the station. Two of us lined up while the other 2 tried the machines. We thought we got the tickets through the machines and called the other 2 over (who were next in line) only to find out by a quick second that it was for  the noon bus so we had to line up again with 2 min left and dash to the bus platform. We did make it and were so relieved!!!

Arriving on a Sunday did not give us much things to do so we just wandered around. It was so beautiful out and beautiful there. The weather was a bombing 16 degrees (yay! Esp with all the rain and cold weather we have been experiencing) and we were able to actually take off some layers instead of putting some on :)

At night we booked a flameco show to check out. It is about an hour and at one of the hotels in town (I will get that later). The tickets were about 15 Euros and well worth it. The flemenco dancing is based on the traditions of the dance in the 19th and 20th century and it was just an amazing show!

It started with the guitarist and singer warming the audience up with their talents. The singing was just beautiful. He did an awesome job and the guitarist as well. He had his own solo later on. The dancer was just fabulous. She danced with such passion that showed not only by the dance herself but her facial expression as well. At one point her right show laces came untied and she still danced like nothing happened. She added the tying of the showlace to her routine. What a professional! After the dance, it made us want to take up flamenco!!!
