Flamenco encompasses much more than dance or song, it is experienced as something very special in many parts of the country making it one of the mandatory things to do, not only in Andalusia but in Spain as a whole. Although many people relate flamenco with gypsies, it is true that both music and dance is a mixture of several of the cultures that lived in Spain since the fifteenth century as Jews, Muslims, Gypsies, and Castilians who created this culture with a big Andalusian flavor.

Maybe during your holidays in Seville, you will see dozens of signs in bars where you can read “Aquí no se da el cante” (Not sung here)
