FLAMENCO NIGHT WITH DINNER
And how about the evening? Let yourself be carried away by the passion of music and attend a flamenco show that releases intense emotional energy. Not just anywhere, but in a traditional grill restaurant that combines the authentic essence of Spanish cuisine with contemporary touches.
When we think of Spanish cultural heritage, the art of flamenco comes to mind. It is not just music or dance; it is a profound expression of the Spanish people´s character, a unique language conveyed through notes and body movements. Flamenco is pure passion and feeling, artistically accompanied by guitars, castanets, percussion, clapping, and the frenetic and resonant footwork. We cannot forget the timeless beauty of the flamenco dresses, iconic and constantly evolving, yet always true to their roots.
The evening will begin with a delicious dinner, and once we have our glass of sangria in hand, a group of dancers, singers, and musicians, on a nearby stage, will make us feel the full passion and power of flamenco. They will showcase few of its most well-known artistic forms: bulerías, seguidillas, fandangos, and sevillanas.
Don´t miss the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in this fusion of flamenco art and rich Spanish cuisine, one of the most diverse in the world! Awaken your emotions and let yourself be carried away by the soul of flamenco, the singing, the clapping, and the dancing on this musical journey.

Something different, impossible to find anywhere else, a living element that evolves as it is concluded, together with the feelings of those who visit it and know it in depth. A monumental complex impossible to compare: a complex architectural project, a world heritage site, on whose exterior stand out its 18 towers with more than 100 meters high; its three thematic facades where Life, Death and Glory are represented by innumerable statues and symbologies based on nature and the Gospels; an interior space that allows the spiritual communion of those who enter, transferred by Gaudí to a Mediterranean forest in which the light filters with different tonalities through its stained glass windows, bathing the inclined columns branched like trees.

A gondola ride along the Canals of Venice is on the wish list of every traveller who visits “the city of the water streets”. For any mythomaniacs, a gondola ride in
Venice is nothing but a romantic dream coming true. There is only one
Venice, and the gondola ride is the unique opportunity to get to know the city
from the right perspective, the water line.
So, get ready for an unforgettable ride in the narrow canals of a city that has
existed for more than 1,200 years.
This boat, the gondola, is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic images of Venice and one of the most recognisable icons in the world. In the past it was the symbol of elegance and extravagance, why almost every king in Europe wanted gondolas in the lakes and canals of their palaces.
For our gondola excursion, we have chosen a special route that runs along part of the Canal Grande, the most elegant avenue in the city. But we will also
enter the small canals, of which many are only accessible by boat. In these narrow straits, we will get the best opportunity to see the gondolier, in his traditional uniform, demonstrate his skills to navigate the vessel around sharp corners and under beautiful bridges.
To make the excursion perfect, our procession of gondolas will be accompanied by musicians who with their traditional songs will create the soundtrack for your visit to Venice.
