Turismo The Plaza Puerta del Sol is the perfect starting point to explore

Madrid. This bustling, centrally located square is one of the city's most lively places.

The Plaza Mayor, a grand arcaded square in the center of Madrid is very popular with tourists and locals alike. The symmetrical rectangular square features a uniform architecture.

The Royal Palace is the largest and certainly one of the most impressive palaces in Europe. It has more than 2000 luxuriously decorated rooms. It is located on the east of Madrid's historic

center, within walking distance of the Plaza de España.

Flamenco Flamenco dancing originated in the southern part of Spain. There

is not just one Flamenco dance. There are 50 distanct palos, which are types of dance. Flamenco dancers put a lot of expression and emotion into their dancing. Their dance moves involve stomping and the feeling that they get from the music. The dance moves portray a very intricate movement. Female flamenco dancers traditionally wear ankle-length dresses or skirts with ruffles or frills. The Western image of a flamenco dancer is actually wearing a Sevillanas dress, which is worn at the time of the annual Seville feria. Modern flamenco dancers are more likely to wear smooth jersey dresses to show off the body line. A common costume choice for flamenco students is a long ruffled skirt plus a shawl worn as a top. Men can wear a suit, or pants and a shirt. In nuevo flamenco, you'll often see men bare-chested.
