Flamenco and Arab Baths

When we were told that we were going to the Arab Baths, I was not completely sure what they were.  Everyone seemed excited in the class except for me.  After arriving to the baths, I was completely amazed at how intricate and authentic they were.  It was relaxing just being in the building, prior to hitting the water.  The intricate walls and sound of water helped me to forget about class, tests, and worries.

The minute I walked into Flamenco class I knew I would enjoy it.  Maria Jose was not only a good dancer, she was probably the most beautiful Spanish girl I've seen the entire trip thus far.  After I was done googling at her, I learned about the importance of the dance and how it originated in Andalucia.  Dancing, in my opinion, was definitely a bonding experience for the whole group because no one was better than the other.  We danced and laughed together, knowing that we looked like fools compared to the instructor.

All in all, both of these experiences made the last week in Spain more enjoyable and authentic.
