Silent Sunday … You cannot dance quietly, I tried.

This is reminiscent of my recent holiday.  I found this image in a tiny quiet street away from the hustle and bustle of the area near the Picasso Museum.  
These little shoes are worn by children as part of the Spanish national costume, the dress worn by the Flamenco Dancers of Andalucia.  I have not experienced this delight, even though I have been visiting Spain for many years.  In truth I maybe thought it was a of bit a tourist attraction and not a true representation of traditional life in Spain.So I eat my words.  Since reading about Violeta Parra I have learned that this song and dance ; this very unsilent practice of Andalucia was a vital part of Spanish culture that is slowly being lost.  So when I come back next year I want to find out more about this recognised art form.  It comes from the Romani; that can be traced back to northern India where Romani originated and still be seen as Kathak dance.
