Dance On!

FLAMENCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - So when Seville pops into my head I think about Flamenco dancing. The Flamenco festival was in town when we were there (it is there every 2 years) but we could not figure out how to get tickets,the website was not helpful at all.  We did go to a Flamenco show at the cultural center, it was a tiny room, and I was afraid it was going to be hokey but it was great. We were sitting next to a guy from England and they were here for the Flamenoc festival and have been to Seville a few times and always go to this show. The singer was amazing and the male flamenco dancer was beyond amazing; our British neighbor said that he wouldn\'t see anything better at the festival.  It was an amzing show and only 60 minutes for 15 euros you can\'t go wrong.  





 

The next morning we headed to the Tourist office to see if we could figure out how to get the tickets, our British neighbor said that he got tickets 4 months ago but we figured it would be worth a shot.  The lady at the tourist office spoke hardly any english but somehow with our limited Spanish we were able to figure out the details about getting to the theater.  However, after we walked all the way around the city and finally found the box office they were sold out!!!! However, when we were there we were able to go to the Flamenco museum. It was interesting to see flamenco thru the years and all of the different types of flamenco.  So even if we didn\'t get to the flamenco festival we did have a great introduction to Flamenco.
