Flamenco at La Cueva

Last night, Nick and I got to experience for the second time the national dance of Andalusia, FLAMENCO at La Cueva in Sacromonte. This show was even better than the first! We all had front row seats, it was very up close and personal with the dancers not even a foot away from us. We actually got hit with their dresses and other attire a few times during the show :) There were so many different dancers that took and they all danced to tell a story, it was amazing. I have so much respect for them because they're always in complete sync with every beat the band plays (who also was amazing). They must have arms and legs of steel because the amount of time and speed that they clap their hands and stomp their feet is unbelievable. It was such a good show, they were all so into it and they got the crowd into it as well...literally. At the end, they grabbed a few of us to dance with them! I wasn't one of the lucky few but Nick was! It was so much fun.




After the show, a few of us went out for tapas because we were all starving from not eating dinner. We went to this place called Bella & Bestia, it was so good! Instead of a drink being 2 euro they were a little bit more expensive between 2.20 & 3 euro but it was so worth it. Your tapa is already chosen for you when you order a drink but each time you order one you get something different. The portions were HUGE and every tapa we got was delicious. While we were there, we overheard a couple speaking English and found out they are from the U.S. and traveling throughout Spain. We told them all of the best places to go and things to see and as they were leaving they told us they just paid for a round of drinks for us ¡Qué lindo!
