A wander around the most flamenco of districts in Barcelona Neither the lower districts of Genoa, nor the port district of Marseilles, nor the Parisian Vilette, nor Whitechapel in London can compare to our wonderful Chinatown, or to the atmosphere of this forbidden area, where the heart-rending lament of flamenco will follow you everywhere. What’s more Barcelona’s barrio chino surpasses them. There’s no other district in the whole world with more sparkle. Coinciding with the universal exhibitions of 1888 and 1929, Barcelona would be able to count on having one of the raciest districts in Europe, and its soundtrack would be flamenco. From this same district such gems as Carmen Amaya, a gypsy born in Somorrostro and who prided herself on her Barcelona roots, would shine. She would become the most universal bailaora – flamenco dancer. Tour operated every Friday, at 7 p.m. more information in info@iconoserveis.com |
