Seville, the epitome of Spanishness, and the home of some of the best flamenco bars and shows in Spain. Along with its Spanish origins, this music and dance genre has gypsy, Byzantine, Sephardic, and Moorish elements and has become increasingly more popular.

Seville is a hot bed of Spanish culture and has varied offerings of this passionate and seductive art form born centuries ago in Spanish villages in the region of Andalusia
