We had an eventful morning traveling from Barcelona to Madrid. It was raining and we were definitely a bit nervous when all of the scheduled taxis hadn’t arrived as planned, but we made it with time to spare. Whew! After checking into our new temporary residence, we enjoyed a little more time together with lunch and pleasant conversation. Later the group had the pleasure of enjoying a flamenco dance lesson, a three course meal, and a passionate flamenco performance. The experience of the flamenco performance was one of my favorite memories since arriving in Spain. The dancers’ performance literally gave me chills. Seeing the concentration in their faces, the love for the dance, hearing the sounds of hands clapping, feet stomping, and fingers snapping accompanied by soulful heartfelt singers, and the melodic sound of the Spanish guitar was absolutely amazing! We all really enjoyed our very first day in Madrid 🙂
