Story: The Cathedral of Flamenco
Episode: 1
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane
Air Date: 4th January

The old Hapsburg quarter holds Trevor’s attention for the evening - a night of culture, food and performance.

• Venture into the historic center of Madrid, the old Hapsburg quarter, for an evening performance of the flamenco. Dine at the Corral de la Morería, voted by the New York Times bestseller 1,000 Places to See Before You Die as one of Madrid’s must-see sights, and sometimes referred to as the “Cathedral of Flamenco.”
• It is famed for its spectacular shows in which singers, musicians and dancers work in unison to continue a tradition that has become famous well beyond Spain’s borders.
• Originally from Andalusia, flamenco is an art form whose roots stretch back to pre-Roman times, and whose expressions incorporate elements from Jewish, African, Moorish and Spanish regional cultures.
• Enjoy a colorful performance as you watch dancers swirl to the rhythmic guitar and fast clapping of spectators’ hands. Savor a magnificent dinner made with fresh ingredients, accompanied by wine, before returning to your hotel.
