El Flamenco

The second night we were in Madrid we went to a very small flamenco. I have shared with some of you a little bit about the art form of Flamenco music and dance. Check the discussion pages on your independent learning pages to participate in a discussion about el flamenco.

Plaza Mayor Video

Hola! I'm sorry my picture didn't post. Hopefully you can see these videos. Let me know. Today was a great day to catch up with amigos en Salamanca. Can't wait to tell you all about it!

El Plaza Mayor

We finally made it to Madrid. Our flight was 8 and a half hours long! As soon as we arrived in Madrid, even before we settled in to our hostel, we ended up in the Plaza Mayor. This centerpoint for Madrid life was constructed in 1617 . . . 394 years ago! You will find a Plaza Mayor in the historic center of almost any Spanish city you visit and in most Latin American towns as well. People gather in the Plaza to meet, hang out, dine, and enjoy their city. On this beautiful day in Madrid there were lots of people out including many street performers and families.
