Hooray, finally got to see a flamenco performance.
Great Spanish guitar, tortuously wailing and clapping singer (we both struggled with this sound, although it is authentic, of course) and some fantastic dancing. So dramatic, serious and noisy, both graceful and tough at the same time and the woman had us all smiling with her belligerent act, hitching her frilled skirt up and stamping at trembling speed - even emulating horse riding at one point. Those dresses are very flattering on curvy figures too - she was no skinny model.
Fantastic, loved it!
And my kindly husband agreed to share a paella with me even though it is not really his type of dish. Had he not agreed, I wouldn't have got one of course as they are all cooked up for 2 people minimum. This quantity could have fed 4! We made a good dent in it and Pete enjoyed it mostly I think (or was he just being polite?). This was an interesting restaurant, El Cabildo, written up in the Rough Guide as being good for paella, really hard to find in a dim backwater, but worth it.
Ole!
