From the mountains to the sea, Spain has a special fascination for travellers and tourists. Few experience the classical music of this passionate culture. Combining laments, lullabies and serenades, little known outside Spain, with slide show talks about The Alhambra Palace and the white villages of Andalusia, we explore the legacy of the Moors and the rich musical heritage of Spain.
