#11 Flamenco Show in Spain

I can’t believe that I’m 30! How did this happen? I feel like I went to bed one night as a 26-year-old and woke up as a 30-year-old!

Celebrating my 30th away from my family and friends back home in Australia was difficult, but luckily I have an amazing boyfriend who whisked me off to Barcelona for a long weekend to drink as much sangria and eat as much tapas as my heart desired.

While in Barcelona, one thing that was on our ‘must do’ list was going to a Flamenco show – And what an experience it was! The men and women were so passionate about the whole performance and really gave it everything that they had. I was desperate to take photos and videos of the whole show, but sadly we weren’t allowed until the end, to avoid distraction for the performers and audience. Luckily we had five minutes at the end where all the performers came on stage for a group ending. My photos aren’t great, which is really frustrating, but you’ll get the idea. They just moved too quickly for my poor little Canon point-and-shoot camera!

A huge shout-out to Nick for organising this night for us while we were there – it was a complete surprise that we were doing this, on this night! One of many surprises he had for me that weekend 🙂
