Granada, Andalucia - A Live Flamenco Show

On the evening of April 13, 2011 I decided to check out one of the highlights of Granada -- live Flamenco music! The live Flamenco shows are held in the Sacromonte area which is the gypsy district of town. The area is said to be a bit dangerous so I booked a guided tour which picked me up directly from my hotel at 10 pm. The tour guide first took us up to the Albaycin Hill, the Moorish quarter with its atmospheric narrow walkways and white-washed houses. From the Mirador de San Nicholas we had an absolutely fabulous view of the Alhambra at night -- the Moorish castle never stops to enchant.
Then our minivan ride continued to the Sacromonte area which has long been home of the "gitanos", gypsies who have been living for centuries in homes built into mountainside caves. Flamenco is their unique art form and we got to see two separate groups of Flamenco dancers (3 women, 1 male dancer, 1 cantaor(a) -- a Flamenco singer, and a guitar player). The passion in their soulful singing and dancing is unmistakable and an experience not to be missed when travelling to Andalucia.
