Holiday Rentals In Spain: Andalucia, The Flamenco And Cadiz
Andalucia is the southernmost region of Spain on the north shore of the Mediterranean Sea and an ideal location for your HOLIDAY RENTALS IN SPAIN. It can be considered the midpoint that separates the Middle East Asia to Europe. This place has its own share of ups and downs in the formation of Spanish culture and history of flamenco as well. The region has been consistently exploited by many emperors from Arabic and Persian leaders through Roman, Greek, Sephardic (Jews) and finally the nomadic kings. These explorers were followed by traders, musicians, metalworkers, palm readers and dancers who very conveniently mixed with local populations. They always travel in groups and were known as Roma or Gypsies. Flamenco was originally the tradition of the Gypsy community of Andalucia belonging to the Guadalquivir valley.
All this began with the famous "Reconquesta" which took place in the Kingdom of Castile. It had been a struggle to get rid of the Muslim community and return to the Christians in honour of the Iberian Peninsula. It lasted for over 400 years from 712 AD - 1238 AD. Then all Muslims were expelled or converted to Christianity. At this time, flamenco performed by the Roma to express the anguish and despair they went through during the Reconquesta. The year was 1782 when the edict of Charles III gave black people the right to dance in public.
Cadiz has a distinguished heritage as the oldest city in Western Europe and one of the best places to find Flamenco. In fact, when you walk in the city with charming streets and listening to flamenco music or in a lively concert hall, you feel that the time has come to a stop. The Phoenicians founded the port city of 1100 BC and it became a famous ship building time during Julius Caesars reign in 61 BC. To this day Cadiz proves an ideal destination for seafood lovers who appreciate its succulent shrimp, shark, and squid.
You can spend all afternoon doing nothing but eat at Cadiz, roaming from cafe to cafe with different tapas in ever bar but try out a glass of chamomile that tapas bar owners and customers swear its best with these mini-meals. Barrio de La Via is the area to sample the best tapas bars in Cadiz, where even if you do not care for seafood you can enjoy delicious ham, sausage, salad and cheese. Enjoy the company of friends among the tempting aromas includes the perfect experience of Cadiz.
If you are looking for something to do between meals go swimming in La Caleta, the most popular beach in Cadiz. Anyone interested in Spanish culture is the value of Cadiz museum which displays the objects from the Romans and Phoenicians including finely crafted dolls. Then there is San Sebastian Castillo, a large island that offers a powerful reminder of the pagan past of Spain. Some locals believe that the island once had a temple dedicated to Hercules and on clear days you can see his old pillars rests on the seabed. Whether or not you believe the legend, you're sure to fall in love Cdiz and its soft vibrant lifestyle on your HOLIDAY RENTALS IN SPAIN.
