Spanish lullabye

My sister and I have been very excited  to see some flamenco music and dance in Spain. Mostly we love the beautiful dresses. While we were in Granada dad bought us some some flamenco dresses. Flamenco is very popular in the south of Spain and this is where it first began - in the Andalusian region. Even though it was very cold in Granada my sister wore her dress a lot.

Last week we visited Spain's capital Madrid (more on Madrid later) and stayed with our good friends Jimmy and Michelle and their children Mimi, Ruby and Ned in their apartment right behind the Prado Museum. This made Mum very happy. 

Mimi and Ruby are very serious about flamenco.

We visited them at their flamenco lesson, when they are practising their dance for the Queen of Spain (!)

and they showed us where to buy handmade and vintage flamenco dresses. We were very excited.

My sister even wore a flamenco dress when we visited the Prado Museum. No one was looking at the Spanish Masterpieces (or John Galliano who was following us!).

Now that we are back in Barcelona, we have been practicing our Flamenco dancing and Flamenco posturing every day.

Mum has been trying to find some Spanish music for us but dad found this.
