On May 9th, 2009 the Embassy of Spain opened its doors to the public for the annual European Union Open House. Embassy representatives were giving out flyers and booklets promoting tourism and culture of Spain and even some highly coveted freebies like abanicos imprinted with the familiar Spanish logo. Seriously, everyone was asking me, "Where did you get that fan?"
Of course, with the delicious free tapas and hourly flamenco shows, the lines were long and the place was packed. It was hot in there and those free fans came in very handy! I skipped out on the free food though (I eat Spanish cuisine every week anyway) and staked out a prime spot for taking pics. Take a look...

Furia Flamenca performed throughout the morning. I anticipated long lines so I skipped breakfast and rushed from home in order to arrive early for the first show. I was like the fourth person in line, yay! However, in my hungry state, I could only stay for the first of several performances by Furia Flamenca. Seriously needed to get some lunch and came back in time for the performances in the afternoon by the Ana Martinez company. See next blog entry...
