There were two one hour offerings--5pm and 7pm. I chose the former as I was hoping to enjoy one last evening walk around the city. The music was rhythmic, the dancing was entrancing, and the dance attire was beautiful. The performance space is quite intimate (roughly 75 seats on 3 sides of the stage), and drinks are available for purchase prior to the performance. There was no audience participation component--thank goodness. Check out the gift shop on your way out; there are a number of good finds here.

There are so many places in Seville that offer Flamenco demonstrations that it was hard to know which one to choose. After extensive research, I choose the Museo del Baile Flamenco. I liked that they supported the art form, and I was also interested in seeing the items in the museum. The beautiful performance definitely didn't disappoint. It was in a small venue and lasted an hour. The museum was great, and the dresses were absolutely amazing.

The venue is a very chill hangout spot and is located right by the Alameda, a great area for walking and that has lots of restaurants. The venue is a bit small, so go early if you want to get seats to enjoy the live jazz. The quality of the music might vary depending on the band that's scheduled for the evening. When I went, the music was great. There is a full service bar and drinks are not overpriced. They do offer some food, although I'm not sure what their options are since I only went for drinks. I have such fondness for this place and would love to return.

Me encanta escuchar jazz en vivo. Y aún mejor cuando viajo. Así que cuando descubrí este lugar…read moremientras exploraba las zonas de Regina y San Gil en Sevilla en un viaje reciente, supe que querría volver esa noche. La visita estuvo bien. Llegué sobre las 8 p. m. y el espectáculo empezó unos 15 minutos después. Me senté en la barra y pedí una cerveza artesanal de su pequeña y cuidada carta. El amable camarero me explicó cómo funcionaba la cosa. No hay que pagar entrada, pero se dona en frascos repartidos por el local; piden 0,50 céntimos por cada intermedio. Me quedé todo el espectáculo y puse 5 € en el frasco, y no hubo problema. El chico de al lado puso 25 €. La decisión es tuya. El jazz estaba buenísimo, los sets eran sustanciosos, la cerveza estaba deliciosa. Hay un menú de comida limitado, pero soy intolerante a la lactosa y todo lleva queso, así que simplemente disfruté de mi cerveza y de la música. Si viviera en Sevilla, sería un cliente habitual y si vuelvo a la ciudad, me aseguraré de volver a visitar El Gallo Rojo. * * * I love listening to live jazz. Even better while traveling. So when I spotted this place as I explored the Regina and San Gil areas of Sevilla in a recent trip, I knew I'd want to come back that evening. The visit was nice. I arrived around 8pm and the show started about 15 minutes later. I sat at the bar and ordered a craft beer from their small and well curated list. The friendly bartender explained how things work. There is no cover charge but instead you donate in jars scattered around the place. They ask .50 cents for every interval. I stayed for the whole show and slipped €5 into the jar and that was fine. The guy next to me put in €25. So it's really up to you. The jazz was hot, the sets were substantial, the beer was delicious. There's a limited food menu but I'm lactose intolerant and everything has cheese so I just enjoyed my beer and the music. If I lived in Sevilla I'd be a regular and if I go back to the city I'll make a point of visiting El Gallo Rojo again.

Was drawn to the unique space with colorful outdoor windows installed on the 2nd floor overhang areas. (Check out the pics!) and the open lounge space with an eclectic, bohemian decor. It reminded me of spaces in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. There was only one staff member around, setting up as they had just opened and it was completely empty. Spoke with him and found out this is a joint venture with several of his friends--a concept to create a wine bar that doubles as a co-working/performance/community space, the rooms upstairs being the main coworking areas. Looking around I could see some speakers and guitar stands set up in one corner of the room. They have a few beers on tap, including one they brew themselves, and serve mostly wines and mixed drinks otherwise. No bar food but they have a few desserts, mostly cake and pastries. Tried their house beer and it was ok, it was early so didn't try any other drinks. Found it inspiring that the owners' vision was to create a space to build community and showcase local artists, love the concept!

Flamenco is a Spanish style of dance that originated in Southern Spain: Andalusia, Extremadura and…read moreMurcia. Since Andalusia is one of those regions, Seville is an ideal city to experience a Flamenco show. The dance has a distinct movements. It also includes a form of tap dancing and incorporates clapping. It is certainly a cultural experience. It is also a touristy thing to do but I was a tourist. It was an enjoyable experience one time but I am not sure I would need to do it twice. We attended a Flamenco Show at El Palacio Andaluz. Guests can buy a ticket for the show only. We bought tickets that included a 3 course dinner and alcohol for 85 Euros. The food was solid. The dish that stood out was the oxtail steak. It was chewy and very good. There are two shows each night. They last a little under 90 minutes.

As times have changed and the treatment/protection of animals been made a priority, the sport has declined in popularity and been banned in most countries. Spain and Mexico are two countries that still allow the tradition to carry on. Nonetheless, it remains a part of history and culture. If you find yourself in Spain, it's a must that you visit the museum. Sitting in an empty arena is definitely an experience. It was awesome to reflect on the amount of people that walked through the doors to see the spectacle of man versus beast. If you have the appetite to watch a bullfight, I recommend that you do. The bulls are not wasted, but later cooked as part of the traditional celebrations. The museum space itself is small, but the grounds of the arena are impressive. The courage it must have taken to walk out to the center of the arena and test your fate. Tour the museum, look at the artifacts, and learn about history.

I love film festivals, so I was thrilled to hear that our time in Sevilla coincided with the…read moreSevilla European Film Festival. The festival screens films in a number of categories (documentaries, official selections, Andalusian films, 'up-and-coming' directors, junior films) and the website, which is sometimes hard to navigate but is in both Spanish and English, lists all the films and their screening times, along with short descriptions of the films. I was impressed by the sheer variety of films screened, the quality and diversity of the films, and the tremendous energy that circulates around the festival (e.g. the festival also organizes free concerts every night). I was also impressed by the low price for tickets (3 Euros per ticket is about $4.05 for a movie ticket - about $7 cheaper than anything at home) and by the very comfortable screening venues. We bought our tickets the day they went on sale, which I would recommend, even though it meant standing in a very long, and very slow moving line at the Alameda theater. The only downside- if you aren't a fluent Spanish speaker, choose your films with care- the website does list which films are subtitled, but once, we chose a film that promised English subtitles only to discover there were none! My Spanish was good enough to understand most of the film, and I would simply whisper key pieces of information to my husband who could get about 30% of what was going on, but it was frustrating nonetheless. When I emailed the festival to note the error, they simply said "it is a mistake, and we apologize for the inconveniences."
