Um, Dos, Tres...!
Andalusia is an area of Spain which strongly maintains the traditions; If you pass by this area, you must discover the Andalusian culture: maybe while tasting with the gastronomy of Andlucia, to attend a bullfight, or to risk themselves with a dance of Flamenco: Viva Espanya!
La bull-fighting is a tradtition in Andalusia. Some regard this practice not as a sport but as an art: The period of the bullfights begins about on June, the 19th (Saint-Joseph) and finishes about on October the 12th (national festival). The clothes of the matador are very symbolic, just like the muleta (red fabric) which must be impeccables.
Autre tradition Andalouse, flamenco!flamenco represents at the same time a song like a dance, which is supposed to bring a certain emotion to us, the audience must be able to feel this emotion which the dancer tries to transmit to us when he dances and sings. Flamenco is supposed to surprise you throughout the dance. It is a dance of gipsies at the base. What is amazing, it is to see the contrast between the dance which is rather abrupt, but the movements of the body are completely flexible, and you cannot remain incensible!
The Andalucian cuisine is one of the principal attractions for this area: impossible not to go at least once in a restaurant of tapas, with sometimes you have to chosse between more than one hundred different tapas! you cannot also missing the famous gazpacho which is the andalucian speciality , a cold soup, with the base of tomatoes, olive oil, and onions. But also the famous jamon of the area: the Iberico Jamon, jamon serrano.
One can say that the inhabitants of Andalusia are welcoming people but like everywhere in Spain, they really don(t take in count the schedules and the punctuality of it…. The Catholic religion still has a great influence in Andalusia, and the inahbitants of the regio are very religious.
