TABLAO FLAMENCO - Spain
+ info.Flamenco is a truly Spanish art. To feel the passion and energy it transmits is an extraordinary experience. Visit a tablao (flamenco club) and experience this "universal" art, whose roots lie in the deepest of Spanish feeling.
Tablaos are clubs dedicated to Flamenco dance and song. They are the best places to see a unique flamenco performance that will captivate the audience. In flamenco, heartfelt song, accompanying guitar, rhythmic tap-dance and clapping, all come together with the dance of great artists, who often appear anonymously. You will notice how you are unconsciously infected by the emotion and feeling that this musical genre transmits.
Tablaos tend to be decorated in a typically Spanish way, with embroidered silk shawls, photographs of famous people, bullfighting clothes and capes. They usually have a warm atmosphere that will let you savour these special surroundings. There are many flamenco clubs in Spain, although they are most frequently found in Andalusia. At a tablao you can have a drink, sample some tapas, or even dine on some full-blown Spanish cuisine.
Flamenco music has enchanted people from all over the world, and has been a source of inspiration for many great artists. It is not a homogenous form of music. Rather, it consists of a number of variants such as tarantos, bulerías, alegrías and soleares. These are diverse styles that, together, form a sign of identity, a definitive artistic genre that expresses the passion of an entire people as few others do.

CASA DE LA VALL
+ info.Casa de la Vall Andorra is one of the most symbolic monuments in the Principality.
History, beauty, political importance... There are lots of reasons that make Casa de la Vall one of the most symbolic monuments in Andorra, if not the most. It’s located in the heart of the old town of Andorra la Vella and can be visited. Here’s description of the most important parts of its history, as well as the most interesting parts of its interior and exterior.
A little history
Casa de la Vall was built in the late 16th century as a manor house for the Busquets family, on a rock overlooking the valley of the River Valira. In 1702, its purpose changed: it was acquired by the Consell General, the Parliament of Andorra, and used as its headquarters until 2011. Representatives of the country’s parishes convened there, and it also acted as the seat of justice. In 1962, it underwent a major renovation to improve its physical condition, gave a sense of unity to the building, while also providing it with a better main session room. In 2011, the Consell General moved to a new building, also in Andorra la Vella.
Casa de la Vall offers some interesting rooms and surprises for visitors: in terms of its architecture, you can observe its quadrangular floor plan and three galleries, typical of stately homes. Its interior is divided between the ground floor and two upper floors. The ground floor is home to the spectacular Criminal Court, with wooden furniture and decorations. The first floor is where you’ll find the Hall of Lost Steps, a noble room with the original wall paintings dating back to the 16th century. This floor is also home to the main session room and the kitchens, as well as other symbolic elements of the building. The bell, for example, was used to call parliamentarians to session, and the mysterious Cabinet of Seven Keys, where important documents on the history of the Principality are kept, such as theManual Digeston the history, government and customs of Andorra in the mid-18th century. The second floor, the old attic area, has been renovated to serve as a multi-purpose hall.
On the outside, you’ll find a square where you can take in the dovecote and façades of the building, with traditional lime and sandstone mortar. The gabled rooftop is made from slate and the main entrance has granite keystones. The square also features recent sculptures depicting some of the most important episodes in the history of Andorra, such as the signing of thePariatgeor the constitutional referendum of 1993. The main façade depicts the coat of arms of the Busquets family and the traditional coat of arms of the Principality, with the slogan: “Virtus, Unita, Fortior” (United virtue is stronger).

CHURCH OF SANT ESTEVE
+ info.The Church of Sant Esteve stands in the old quarter of Andorra la Vella alongside the parliament building. It is Romanesque in origin (12th century) and was considerably modified in the 20th century.
From Romanesque times we are given the semi-circular apse, the largest in the principality and which represented the Romanesque mural paintings now spread between the Catalonia National Art Museum and two private collections. The Marriage of Cana, the image of a winged bull and Christ before Pilate are some of the fragments of the pictorial complex preserved in the Catalonia National Art Museum. Inside the temple there is a multi-coloured wooden beam from the same period and two baroque altarpieces.
Of particular note too is the Painting of the Souls from the 18th century. Outside we can see the semi-circular apse preserving its original Lombardian decoration, and the bell tower and Romanesque tower. The restoration made in 1940 by the modernist architect Josep Puig and Cadafalch focused on remodelling the bell tower and the present side entrance.
