Flamenco Dinner Show-Sevilla

I wasn’t able to write about the Flamenco show the other night as the wi fi wasn’t working too well and we were tired when we got back.

We took the coach to the restaurant and were seated in the best section of the restaurant. We were at the back but were raised a small tier higher than the front section. It seems moments after they have taken your drink order, the lights go down, the stage lights up and the show begins.

The rhythm of the hand clapping out the tempo and the sound of the feet on the stage only complements the speed of the dancers feet and the colours of the costumes have to be seen and heard in the real, before understanding this dance and appreciating the strength and stamina this takes.

One male soloist must have danced a full 8 minutes at a speed you didn’t think could be accomplished and then a female dancer does the same thing.

There are many dancers and it ends far too soon. Oh yeah, the dinner was good as well but we were eating by candlelight. Then, because we were with Insight, we went down and had pictures taken with the dancers.

A dream come true

Melia Costa De Sol Hotel

The hotels we stay are really top notch. This is another one in the Melia chain and they don’t disappoint. The rooms are a good size, and has all the extras you would expect from a Hotel in this ranking.

When we went for dinner, the first night, our jaw dropped as we entered the dining room. The room looks the size of a football field. Not really but you understand it is huge. There are, apparently more than 100 items to choose from or try them all, if you dare.

In the morning, thinking they couldn’t possibly duplicate the massive array of foods and then guess what? They did.  It boggles the mind: hot foods, cold cuts, fruits, vegetables, buns, rolls, croissants, a variety of breads, juices, coffee in little urns always served along side covered pitchers of warm milk, many  different juices, then there are the yogurts, cereals, toppings, crepes, eggs (different ways), bacon- some days cooked, some days not so much, fresh salmon and on and on.

Tonight we are off to a dinner on the Beach. Tomorrow we are off to Granada. Can hardly believe it.
