Six word Saturday

Hot stuff, to keep you warm!

I’ve never been closer to the action and the evening was all a bit of a blur.  I’m sorry that my photos can’t do it better justice but I hope that they convey a little of the heat and passion in Jerez during the Flamenco Festival.  What a show!

Debbie’s sheep has lots of hair to keep it warm.  Join her with Six Words to sum up your week?

    1. I do seem to be imbibing rather a lot just lately, Gilly. Last night’s 50’s, 60’s and 70’s disco was great fun but summed up by Marie, ‘I do like a stagger home’. Danced my feet into blisters. 🙂 🙂 Home to the sober life soon.

    1. No foot stamping this morning, please Meg. The wine was flowing rather too swiftly last night. I thought I’d done enough dancing to burn it off at the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s disco but apparently not. 🙂 🙂 Took our neighbour, Marie, and a thoroughly good time was had, but I think maybe I need to go back to the quiet life in England. Well, just for a little while…

      1. No foot stamping, I guarantee, except to whack the sand off my sandals. I probably need a bit of wild dancing to warm up. The sea was warm enough to keep me bobbing for 20 minutes, much longer than usual, but 2 hours later, I’m a bit bone-chilled. Happy return to England. Mulled hugs waiting against the snow.

    1. I don’t remember when we last got so wet, Jude, but I don’t think it was much better here in the Algarve. The car was aquaplaning in the water on the way back. Even our cake shop had a leak! 🙂 🙂 A wonderfully atmospheric place though.

      2. We could have made it easier by getting a direct coach to Seville and staying there as a base, because Jerez and Cadiz are easy from there by train, but with the weather as it was Seville would have been dismal. As would Cadiz in gale force winds. 🙂 No hurry to go back, though I do like Cordoba. One year we’ll catch the Patio Festival. Lots of Portugal still to see. Got to be loyal. 🙂

      3. Seville looks like a good base then. Maybe my daughter and I should head there on our ‘Mother/Daughter’ break in October.

      1. No Jo, it was in Granada, at the top of the atmospheric Albaycin at Jardines de Zoraya, a restaurant that hosts an excellent flamenco performance with young local talented musicians and dancers. How I loved it, so I can imagine how you must have felt. Wonderful!! Enjoy your last days in Tavira.

      2. What a fantastic place for flamenco, Cathy! We arrived on 28th Feb, which apparently is Andalucia Day and a national holiday. 🙂 🙂 There was a flamenco festival on so it was everywhere!

  16. I love the blur, it gives a sense of action. This looks similar to a show that we went to in Ronda where we had a front row table. I like the Flamenco a whole lot better than the Fado!

    1. It was a tiny, very old and traditional bar, Annika, with just 6 tables. Apart from clapping and stamping and trying to take photos, there wasn’t space for more than an ole or two. 🙂 🙂 Brilliant night.
