  • Galician handiworks: Tradition and renovation

    Galician handiworks: Tradition and renovation

    The unique features of Galicia’s identity have been maintained over time through its traditions, and one of its highest exponents is its diverse variety of handicrafts. Galicians continue to produce goods as they learned from their ancestors—honey, cheese, wine, liqueur, canned products, clogs, baskets and pottery. But perhaps their best-known creations are the porcelain kaolin and its longstanding pottery tradition, which has skillfully remained current.

    A journey through time with an expert in handicrafts, from the most well-established traditions to a future of modernity, getting a first-hand look at the production of artisan goods sustained over time so as to understand the essence of the most authentic Galicia.

  • Flamenco up Close

    Flamenco up Close

    Foto Rubén Mondelo
    For a party you need just three people: one to sing, one to dance and the other to play music. But then you also need others to say ole and clap along, sang La Tana, accompanied on the guitar by Paco de Lucía.

    You can see flamenco in an auditorium, a theater or a small club, but the best way to experience it is at an intimate gathering with a few friends. Attending live, unplugged performances by artists such as La Tana, who sang alongside Paco de Lucía, or Paco del Pozo, who received the prestigious Lampara Minera Flamenco award, is possible with THE REAL THING. We also offer other options, such as dinner and a flamenco show at one of Madrid’s leading venues, or even classes to learn how to dance, sing and play along with flamenco, given by some of the leading professionals in these areas.

Visit the museum, feel the energy from the locker rooms, sit on the bench as if you were part of the team. And if we have the chance, we’ll even take you down to the field…

    Celebrating

    Although Spain has undergone a sweeping modernization in the last three decades, its popular traditions have remained intact. As a result, today it’s possible to attend events with high cultural value and participate in extraordinary collective experiences that you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

    Well-known examples include Holy Week in Andalusia and Castile-La Mancha, San Fermín in Pamplona, and Fallas in Valencia, but there are also lesser-known events which are just as captivating: the Gregorian chants by monks at the Silos Monastery; the magical night of bonfires and water, for St. John’s Eve, in Alicante; the mystery play of Elche; the Moors and Christians festival; Castellers in Catalonia; the Tamburrada in Calanda…

    These events are fascinating from an anthropological standpoint, but actually being there is a completely different story. Join us and live a unique experience.
