This is the name of the project launched by María Larroca, who used to work in the administrative side of TV, that transforms her passion for flamenco into an entrepreneurial adventure. Maria’s idea is to enable tourists to experience real, authentic flamenco, which isn’t always what we see at tablaos and typical flamenco venues.

Others emphatically claim that flamenco, added to UNESCO’s list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010, is the definitive music of the […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2015/07/15/in-search-of-the-sound-of-madrid/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2015/06/03/faro-de-moncloa/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2015/06/03/faro-de-moncloa/#respond Wed, 03 Jun 2015 10:46:14 +0000 Ignacio Vleming http://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/?p=1066

Only 20 minutes away by metro from Puerta del Sol stands the Faro de Moncloa, a 110-metre tower with 360 degree views across the urban landscape of Madrid and the Guadarrama mountain range. This former lighting tower, designed by architect Salvador Pérez Arroyo, was built in 1992 to mark Madrid’s year as European Capital of Culture. It’s easy […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2015/06/03/faro-de-moncloa/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/06/13/my-guide-to-photoespana/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/06/13/my-guide-to-photoespana/#respond Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:08:34 +0000 Ignacio Vleming http://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/?p=765

Here’s a list of 10 shows I’ll be sure not to miss. Avant-garde classics: The Fine Arts Circle is hosting two exhibitions that best […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/06/13/my-guide-to-photoespana/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/03/04/la-quinta-de-los-molinos-park/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/03/04/la-quinta-de-los-molinos-park/#respond Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:34:31 +0000 Silvia Roba http://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/?p=597

You don’t have to leave Madrid to enjoy one of Mother Nature’s most spectacular shows as soon as the first hint of spring is in the air. The fabulous image of blossoming almond trees all around Spain is replicated at this small, intimate park on Calle de Alcalá, undiscovered by many. It is known as La […]]]> https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/03/04/la-quinta-de-los-molinos-park/feed/ 0 https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/03/04/are-there-any-mummies-here/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss https://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/2013/03/04/are-there-any-mummies-here/#respond Mon, 04 Mar 2013 09:43:57 +0000 Laura Ceballos http://blog.esmadrid.com/blog/en/?p=585
