I think you now have the travel bug, don't you! It would be lovely if you were to visit Malaga and Spain one day :) <br />Yes, many shops here in Andalucia sell flamenco dresses, even the big department stores sell them, particularly for the different ferias (carnivals and fairs) that take place here on a regular basis. I will have to do a post on some because I have a lot of photos somewhere of people in our town wearing them!<br />xxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-90476592229329369952016-07-06T22:27:34.493+02:002016-07-06T22:27:34.493+02:00You're very welcome Tricia, thank you for comi...You're very welcome Tricia, thank you for coming on the 'tour' with me, I'm glad you enjoyed it!<br />xxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-38574706413366737382016-07-06T22:27:03.601+02:002016-07-06T22:27:03.601+02:00Thanks very much Rosie, glad you enjoyed it.

I was fascinated at the beautiful street art, the interesting shop windows and the beckoning alleys. Plus I had no idea that stores sold Flamingo dresses! It makes perfect sense that they would sell them but it just did not cross my mind about going to shop for a flamingo dress! How wonderful! A fantastic post! :) XXXGingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448401674397732366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-34520938314825246782016-06-22T15:08:05.001+02:002016-06-22T15:08:05.001+02:00A lovely look at real Spain - thank you!

A lovely combination.<br />Yes the art of Flamenco isn't dead. It is still very popular for tourists, but also inland, where we live in Sevilla, it is still very popular. Particularly the outfits for the ferias and different processions that are plentiful throughout the year. In our town we have two big ferias each year as well as several other events where you'll see loads of 'Sevillana' clothing, they're beautiful and so colourful. <br />xxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-19249369899364592952016-06-20T21:23:32.146+02:002016-06-20T21:23:32.146+02:00Thank you KK, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

And yes, that's the thing, so many people see Malaga as just a place for a beach holiday when there is just so much more to see and do. And I've only seen a part of it, there is indeed a lovely promenade area with one of those big carousel like the London Eye which I'd like to go on. Plus I'd love to see those big cruise ships in the port because that new massive one that holds about 8,000 people docks there too and it's supposed to be pretty impressive close up. Not that I'd want to go on a cruise on it, just see it close up! And masses of churches and historic buildings too. Definitely worth a visit in my humble opinion.<br />xxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-56313898527974718632016-06-19T18:40:01.406+02:002016-06-19T18:40:01.406+02:00Yes!

I had thought flamenco nowadays mostly was done for tourists (like the Bavarian Schuhplattler..).
