Holiday to Spain and Dance the Night Away at Flamenco.

The culture and history of Spain has always been influenced by many external factors and the position of the nation is one of them which you will see when you HOLIDAY TO SPAIN. Flamenco is one of the best examples to underline this point. Flamenco is a popular style especially in the beautiful region of Andalucia. While the etymology of the word “flamenco” is not very clear, it is said to be from the word “fellahmengu”, Hispano-Arabic meaning "deported". At the end of Arab reign the word was used to refer to Muslims in the Andalucian region. Before then the flamenco dance had been performed in small groups and very secretly. Over time it gained popularity and is now a well-known dance form.
