Fire and ice - flamenco show!

Tonight mum and I went to another Spanish dinner which was in another oddly shaped building but was cool to look at. We tried a few more Spanish dishes, I tried a few more than mum again, and then we were treated to a fiery flamenco dance and singing spectacular, with champagne...

There were 3 men whose job was to clap as if their hands were drums, and they sang in very emotional Spanish language about the love of a woman and how women have hurt them.

The women would then come out and dance, which was amazing as they are able to lift their skirts with their shoes when dancing and rotate their hands at the same time.

There were 3 men who also came out and danced. Their feet move so quickly that it's a wonder they can still stand at the end of the night! In my opinion the women looked great dancing, but the men were way better dancers and they seemed more passionate about what they were doing which made it even better.

It's amazing to watch and even better to listen to. The colors are so bright and the emotion in the dancers and the singers adds another dimension to the show.

Another highlight of Spain that mum and I will never forget!
