La Bulería Flamenco in Valencia
Flamenco: an experience that had been on our wish list for a while. It seemed as if Facebook knew this, because from the autumn of 2024 we regularly saw messages about flamenco evenings.
In October, after a busy and successful season, we were finally able to enjoy a well-deserved two-week holiday. That is not always easy to plan with our animals. Fortunately, we can always count on our friends Elsje and Carel, who without hesitation take over the care of our animals when we are away. This time Elsje even did everything on her own, because Carel was in Australia.
Out of gratitude, we wanted to surprise them with a nice evening out. We were not sure whether they would appreciate flamenco, but we decided to take a chance and take them to a flamenco evening with dinner.
La Bulería
In the Montolivet district, in a place where you would not immediately expect it, lies flamenco restaurant La Bulería. Upon entering, we were warmly welcomed and led to our table, right next to the stage. Julia, our hostess, provided excellent and personal service throughout the evening. The food was truly exquisite and exceeded all our expectations. So the evening had already started perfectly!
The Flamenco experience
And then the spectacle began: a young guitarist, a female singer, a male dancer and three female dancers entered the small stage. What expression! The powerful foot movements (zapateado), graceful arm and hand gestures and expressive body movements were breathtaking. The singing (cante) varied from raw and intense to melancholic and was supported by rhythmic hand clapping (palmas) and beautiful guitar playing.
The emotion and passion radiated from the stage. The performers performed their art with such joy and conviction that it was infectious. It was an unforgettable evening full of Spanish culture and tradition. We enjoyed it so much! This is truly art – a cultural treasure that you should experience at least once in your life.
