Flamenco is a passionate and expressive art form that originated in southern Spain.
Miss Elite Spain “Irene Grande” said, during an exclusive interview with Sada el Balad English (See) that flamenco is a dance of great expression and power, with girls wearing very heavy dresses with lots of ruffles, with flowers in their hair, and sometimes using other accessories such as fans, castanets, or shawls.
In 2010, UNESCO declared flamenco a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Flamenco developed within the Gaetan subculture of Andalusia, and also had a historical presence in Extremadura and Murcia.
Some of the musical instruments associated with flamenco and Spanish folklore in different regions today are the wooden castanets and tambourines, both of which are believed to have originated during the Andalusian period. This centuries-long period of cultural intermingling formed the roots of flamenco song and dance genres.
Like flamenco, Spanish cuisine is also very diverse and regional. The most common dishes is tortilla de patata and cocido, paella, migas, patatas bravas, croquetas, jamón serrano, churros, gazpacho. Spanish gastronomy is very broad and very rich, Grande added.
