El Flamenco

Music plays an importan role in every county.  It envolops the people's feelings and way of life, and is a form of expression that can be traced back to the dawn of humanity.  Flamenco, widely know for it's style of dance, also consists of guitar playing and singing.  It embodies passion, which is the one word that Spaniards use to describe themselves.

Flamenco is specific to Andalucia, and has devloped over the centuries from folk music and folk dance.  More widely known among tourists is the Flamenco dance, with the bailadores (dancers) wearing the traditional flamenco dance clothing as they rhythmically stomp their feet and clap their hands.

A visitor can easily encounter flamenco in Granada by travelling the Albaicin neighborhood.  The Granadinos have transformed caves into restuarants and bars, many of which provide live Flamenco entertainment.  Certain caves are reserved solely for Flamenco productions, more for tourist attraction than for the locals.
