comes to mind.

the timeless beauty of the flamenco dresses
, iconic and constantly evolving, yet always true to their roots.
The evening will begin with a
delicious dinner
, and once we have our
glass of sangria
in hand, a group of
dancers, singers, and musicians, on a nearby stage, will make us feel the full passion and power of flamenco
. They will showcase few of its most well-known artistic forms: bulerías, seguidillas, fandangos, and sevillanas.

The ups and downs of life are an infinite source of inspiration. They say that fado is the feeling which comes out from the Portuguese soul and that no divisions must be made.
