Part 2 walking tour
We were feeling pretty confidant after graduating from the morning walking tour and decided to join the Tapas evening tour as well as the Flamenco Dance show. Again we were not disappointed. The interesting thing about these tours is Daweid (he explains the Spanish pronouncement), our guide for the evening feels absolutely dedicated that we “experience” not just look around and take pictures. It’s all about the history, culture and people. The first thing we did on the tapas tour was get to know the folks we were with.

We were all English speakers except one guy and this made it easier for us to meet these folks from all over the world; South Africa, Scotland, Spain, India, Asia, and the good old USA. David took us to 3 different tapas restaurants where we learned about the history of the food, and that the idea of tapas is more about socializing and not just eating. It was a lovely evening.
After we walked a few of our new friends back to their hotels we marched on to the Flamenco Show.

Flamenco again is more than what it seems. Venues are small and intimate, almost private. The music comes from 5 or 6 people seated on a small stage. Four of them are clapping, one is singing and one is playing the guitar. We become mesmerized, soon enough 2 dancers come pounding out from behind a curtain and the Flamenco begins. Astounding, hard to explain. It is a moving and emotional dance. We vibrate in our seats and the small crowd goes wild with appreciation.
