Concert at the Palau de la Musica Catalana

This is sure to be one of the highlights of our time in Spain. Three virtuoso guitar players and an incredible pair of flamenco dancers performing in a modernisme theatre. 

Holy sensory overload! Both the Spanish and occasional English narrative flew by us but the enthusiasm of the audience helped us appreciate their banter. Fingers flew as they played classical guitar pieces, modern jazz and spectacular flamenco. The dancers were a provocative mixture of lithe twisting, seductive posturing and fierce stamping. We were wrapped around their expressive fingers from the moment they appeared. Sadly, no photos.

And the building? Over the top organic decorations of colour and light. We spent a few hours in a fantastical world. 

Exterior of building. It is located on a narrow street so hard to capture

Main concert hall with unusual stained glass skylight to allow in daylight.
