BULLFIGHTS IN SPAIN

A Corrida starts with the paseillo, with everybody involved in the bullfight entering the ring and presenting himself to the public.

Maybe you can think that is very brutal the way the matador kill the bull,but remember that is a part of our culture,and it is a sort of art.

FLAMENCO AND SEVILLANAS

Flamenco is a Spanish art form with roots deep in Andalucia, Spain's southern region. Although there are clues as to how this folk music evolved, the details are lost in history.

Even the origin of its name is elusive. Some attribute it to the early 1500s and the Flemish courtiers during the reign of Spain?s Charles V. Their bright clothing inspired the names given things garish or conspicuous, such as flamingoes and flamenco.

Then when you visit Spain,you must to see one Flamenco and Sevillanas dance shows.They are a lot of night clubs to see them in all major cities in my country.

ALICANTE And Costa Blanca

This is another very interesting option when you visit Spain.Alicante and all Costa Blanca has too much to offer.Picture taken at Alicante Harbor also you can see Santa Barbara Castle on top of the mountain.
