Hola muchachos! Today I am feeling Flamenco!

I am thrilled to be out from under that alphabet.  Whooda thunk running through 26 letters could be so onerous!  Not I.

So, I feel like something different for absolutely no good reason!

Let’s head to Spain!  Ole!

The first thing you need is music.  Let’s look at a handsome guitar player.  Very nice!

Then you get a talented, beautiful dancer or two.  Next, you sit back and prepare to marvel at the experience this visual glory!

I took all of the following pictures a few years ago when I was in Spain to celebrate a birthday. Nights of flamenco in Sevilla and other nights of fado in Portugal, while drinking vinho verde, all of this was muy fantastico!

It was hard for my camera to focus, because the dancers move so quickly.  I actually like the blurry images and the fact that the pictures are out of focus.  It fits the dance.

And then, if we are talking flamenco, which we are, I must include my favorite John Singer Sargent painting of all: El Jaleo.

I can hear the guitars and the castanets!

Addios!
