Barcelona, Spain: Ole’!

Tonight I went to see a Flamenco Show in Barcelona. It was a beautiful dinner with four courses with dancing and boy was it LOUD! I think they even put microphones underneath the stage and every time the dancers dig their heels in, we all hear it and feel it! Something I never realized was how emotional Flamenco dancing and music was and how sad most of it really is, but man-oh-man the dancers are passionate!

Following the show, we loaded onto the bus where the guide and driver took us on a drive around Barcelona. Honestly, I didn’t think that a drive around the city would allow us to see much, but the Gothic Quarter is incredible in the evening as are most of the buildings with the lighting in place. Barcelona is pretty cool once you get away from Las Ramblas street, which is loaded with tourists and pickpockets!
