Flamenco - Granada
Where can I see flamenco?
There are many places where you can see flamenco in Granada. Every
corner of Granada is full of flamenco but to submerge oneself into a
really great flamenco experience you have to visit Sacramonte where the
dance and song of the Zambra reign supreme.
There are many different
caves in Barrio Sacramonte. All are filled with the rich aromas of
plants of the area - the aloe vera, cactus and 'chumbera' (_Sorry I
don’t know what chumberas is - also Aloe vera is a type of cactus I
think? Did you mean the aloe vera cactus or aloe vera and cactus?)_
The Oldest cave and the one with the greatest reputation is known as the
cave of Marie 'La Canastera'. Apart from offering flamenco shows it
also doubles as a museum every morning. The name comes from a legendary
singer who was blessed with the particular Grananian gypsy spirit of
flamenco. This cave holds shows every night not only of contemporary
flamenco, but also of the oldest styles - there are theatrical
representations of gypsy weddings such as la Arborea, La cachucha and
and La Mosca.
