Flamenco—The Mysticism that is Flamenco.

I had always known that Spain is famous for its bullfights and flamenco. Never seeing a flamenco experience the school took us up to the Sacromonte to see it. When we reached the highest point I bought myself a beer cause of was dying from the exhaustion of once again hiking up to the top of a mountain. The performance started and I was just entranced. I didn’t realized how beautiful the music is and how influenced it is by Muslim folklore. The best thing of the performance is the ambiance. A clear night, at the top of the mountain, away from the city; the moon and stars giving the light for the stage, clearly el Sacromonte is a great place to be for a cultural dance.
