Isabel Cortes - Flamenco!


This is Isabel Cortes, the flamenco teacher, noted flamenco dancer and also co-organiser of the three-day event.

The intensity and passion in the face, the hands, the feet, the body, the dance - flamenco!

The Flamenco Festival is a three-day event in Gorbio and unfortunately, on the Saturday night (with 400 people booked for the Paella GĂ©ante) it fell down with rain all afternoon and into the early evening. The Mayor had no choice but to cancel, so the next evening, which was the last evening of the festival, no seats were available. Next year I'll get there!

The Festival includes guitar groups and gitane music and singing in the church - so do come back tomorrow.
