Real Flamenco

You can watch a flamenco show done by professionals, and that is quite impressive. But there is nothing like a local show, were the family of the dancers are among the audience. It gives quite an atmosphere :-)

El Tostón, a family tradition in the country .

Sierra Blanca mountains near Oj��n.

November 1st. is a sad day, when people celebrate their departed loved ones. Its a national holiday in Spain. Around Marbella and the province of Malaga the day is marked with more cheerful celebrations. The families travel into the hills for the traditional Tostón. The roasting of 'chestnuts', which are then eaten with a glass of 'Anisette'. This occurs especially around the villages of Nagüeles, Ojén and Puerto Rico Bajo.
