In Madrid the main thing is going out and having fun which is a priority and not to be interfered with. Every day is a party, a new experience, an adventure. Nowhere else will you see so little going to bed for the purposes of sleeping. This is an insomniac city: exciting, stylish, full of life and fun-loving people. Seville “Viva Sevilla y Ole” exults a Sevillana song. Indeed who has not fallen under the spell of Sevilla? The city has charmed the world and captured its heart. It is so alive, so aristocratic, so sophisticated, so filled with great historic monuments, and yet so small town and therein lies a great deal of its appeal. Carmona: An immaculately kept walled town 30 kms from Seville. Entered then exited on the other side through beautiful multi-arched Moorish gateways. Noble homes and an exceptional fountain surrounded by stone lions that is immortalised in flamenco song ( “ Carmona has a fountain with fourteen or fifteen spouts”) – this was a most important city of Moorish Spain. The Parador Alcazar del Rey don Pedro is built on the grounds of Moorish Fortress that was later the palace of Pedro el Cruel and residence of the Catholic Kings during the Reconquest of Granada. It is done in Mudejar style and is top-notch. The views are expansive, the pool inviting. A wonderful place to spend the night. Granada:Granada is a magical city. Its breathtaking vistas, the Moorish ambience of the city and the dreamlike beauty of The Alhambra palace can arouse even the most jaded visitor. With the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada as its backdrop, trickling fountains in every square; and rich Andalucian cuisine you cannot fail to come under its spell. Milongas – in Seville and Granada we can arrange a dinner and milonga and get the local tango community to attend – between 30 and 50 local tangueros. We can probably do this in Madrid too. There are some visits to tango bars where they play tango music and in Arcos we will improvise locally. Spanish Hours – generally we keep Spanish hours simply because otherwise we would miss every thing. This means a late lunch and a good one followed by a siesta. Then a light supper and dancing all night if you want too. THE PRICE INCLUDES ALL THIS! All Tango classes with El Indio and Mariana, from Buenos Aires. There will be one or two local tango teachers as well to instruct.
