During my trip to Europe this winter break, I had the privilege of seeing the Alhambra from the Mirador de San Nicol\u00e1s<\/a> viewpoint in Granada, Spain. As the sun was setting, the glow of the Alhambra was one of the most picturesque sights I have laid my eyes on. In the background of my view, the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains glistened as the sky turned from blue, to pink, to complete darkness. As I was watching the sunset from this lookout, there was a group of three Flamenco artists playing the guitar and singing a traditional Andalusian song. Flamenco<\/a> music and dancing can be found everywhere in Granada and the addition of this part of the culture made my experience more memorable. After hearing the three men play that night, I was hooked and knew that I needed to adventure to a traditional Tablao for a Flamenco show. I chose Jardines de Zoraya<\/a> and was blown away by the synchronicity and fluidness of the performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, I chose this audio because it reminded me of the song that I heard the day I visited Alhambra. Without hearing this music, the image is stunning, yet the addition of the sounds makes it hard not to crave being there. The music enhances the rich cultural aspects of Granada and ensures that the Alhambra is more than a beautiful monument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
