What we will do:


A guided walking tour to know the true origin of flamenco, its essence, the perfect formula that created this music and makes the world thrilled. A hidden history, unknown for many, it still survives in the permanent marks of our memory. The key to a memory that will lead us to the flamenco’s prehistory. 


Before the flamenco’s art and music there were people. A social and cultural mix without precedents that coincides in a concrete place and time of history to produce, unexpectedly, an unique art in the world: the flamenco. A tough history, hard but real. A history that tells about us and the way that we move forward, pretending but reminding what we are: flamencos. 


In this experience you will visit related places with the past and present history of flamenco in Almería. You will also know the details and curiosities about flamenco’s music, art and way of life that is in the city’s air. Find out the alive testimony of a town’s resiliency, its land and its culture. Discover and feel the origin of flamenco. 


More information about this experience:

Flamenco’s Archaeology is a travel through time and word. The hidden memory of our history that appears in our most universal art: Flamenco. Declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, flamenco is a very young art but an international reference to our land and culture. 


Since the first written sources about flamenco not even 300 years have passed. The flamenco’s archaeology is a travel to its prehistory, a multicultural travel that wants to remind the origin of who we are and have always been. A travel that shows the resiliency of a village that transmutes its reality to keep developing and looking to the future. A varied village in all its forms, customs and traditions. 


The flamenco and its way of life is born from the mixture of cultures about a territory and a concrete time. This genre is today one of the biggest and most cultured along with jazz and classical music: a way of life with its own language and idiosyncrasy. In flamenco's archaeology we will explore in order to know the origin of flamenco as we know it today; not only in its musical side, but also in its ancestral origin that gave it the life to become what it is now. Let us remember where we come from and who we are.
