Salamanca
If flamenco has captured your soul but you’re keen to do more than watch, head to Almonte. Live acts kick off the night, paying homage to the flamenco roots of Almonte in Andalucía's deep south. The young and the beautiful who come here have sevillanas (a flamenco dance style) in their soul and in their feet.
Head downstairs to see the best dancing. Dance if you dare.
