Things To Know Seville on Foot Festivals in Seville Eating Southern Style Mantillas and Castanets Flamenco	Flamenco Flamenco is a synthesis of dance and music, ideally performed spontaneously to express joy and sorrow about everyday life, religion and work. Its heartland lies in Andalucia, but its origins stretch as far afield as Egypt and India. It reaches its zenith in the songs known as cante jondo (deep song), expressions of deep feelings. The profound meaning of flamenco is hard for foreigners to grasp, but the music and dance, the distinctive costume and the click of castanets can be enjoyed by all.
