Flamenco at Hotel Alcantara in Seville

#July Travel Support Fund A small hotel quietly located along the alleys of Seville, Hotel Alcántara. The exterior is neat and simple, but every night, a soul-stirring performance takes place here. When you enter the courtyard, the arches and marble columns that remain from the 15th-century palace, and the stage surrounded by traditional tiles are the first things that catch your eye. Then, the lights gradually dim, and a single guitar string, a single beat of the palm, slowly awaken the quiet space. This is La Casa del Flamenco. A flamenco performance hall located inside the hotel, considered one of the most authentic and prestigious in Seville. On the stage are two dancers in fancy attire, and behind them, a singer and guitarist with a deep and rough tone. There are no microphones or fancy decorations. A stage filled only with stamping feet, applause, and sincerity. The distance between the audience and the stage is only a few steps. That closeness makes the performance hotter and more vivid. #SpainTravel #Seville
