Phase 2: Lanjaron

Posted in Flamenco, Granada, Spain, Spanje, holiday, vakantie at 10:14 by njanja

Hey all,

Since sunday evening my residence has moved some 30 km. I now stay at an hotel in Lanjaron, the first village of the Alpugaras. A region at the bottom of the Sierra Nevada with lots of enchanting little villages. Lanjaron, known for it’s bottled water here in Spain, is one of the larger villages with many water related therapies. I guess if u put the ages of Jodka, Audrey & me together (with a slight exageration of course) u endup with the medium age of people living in & visiting Lanjaron. Even though the village is not the most special of the Alpugaras, the hotel Jodka found for us is wonderful. The hotel manages to hide it’s rather big size by it’s ingenious architecture… outside lots of little patio’s with fountains are hidden amongst the beautiful vegetation… paradise.

Pictures of this little paradise will follow later ;)

But first I have to finish of my story of Carmen de las Cuevas. Carmen de las Cuevas is the school where I have been following Spanish, Flamenco dance & Compas (rythm) courses in the Albaycin in Granada. The school is a really beautifull, clean place with 2 big caves on the ground floor used for the Flamenco & compas classes, multiple other classrooms on the 1st, 2nd & even 3rd floor & lots of terraces everywhere u look.

    “Flamenco & compas classes”

    I’ve heard other foreigners speak about “flamenco class”, and never understood what it meant. Now I see you mention something you call “flamenco”, independently of compás, so I know this is something new.

    What is meant by “flamenco class”? Is it perhaps an orientation to the various libre forms?
