Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Andalusia is the birthplace of flamenco, and while it's a complex dance steeped in history and tradition, there are a few moves and steps that can be easily learned. And there is no better way to learn than under the instruction of a local 'bailaor.' A 15-minute walk brings you to an authentic tablao, a place where flamenco--an intriguing, exotic and beautiful art form--is performed. This popular local tavern will serve as your dance studio. Your guide will introduce you to the flamenco's origins and history, which has been handed down through the generations, a dance of intense emotion. The music begins, and you'll be treated to a special flamenco lesson during which your teacher will show you the intricate steps and passionate movements of this beloved dance. Refreshments will then be served, a selection of cheeses and chicharrones (fried pork) with sherry wine. Return to port on a leisurely walk after this fascinating day.
