Flamenco - One of Spain´s Best Loved Traditions
Flamenco is the everlasting and powerful song and dance of the Spanish Gypsies of Andalusia in Southern Spain. This traditional art form is a blend of song and dance with roots dating back to the 16th century and is a fusion of many cultures including Gypsy, Andalusian and Moorish, amongst others. The first document that describes a gypsy man and women dancing was written by Miguel de Cervantes
