Onward from the restaurant Sabina (a wide variety of excellent local dishes washed down with Rioja Crianza) for some Flamenco muy autentico. The place was full of students, eager to see the real thing, not some tourist cabaret. Playing for us that night was a trio (below); a guitarist, palmero (handclaps, vocals) and a huge she-bull of a dancer who first hushed her audience with vehement hisses, then warned us not to make videos of the performance. Seated at first, she roused herself into a footstomping frenzy as the music increased in pace and intensity. Machine-gun like rhythms fired out from her rapidly tapping feet emphasised the passion and power of her dancing, which quickly increased in its hypnotic effect. The audience loved it.
