La Jota - Traditional Dance of Spain

Flamenco. That's the first (and often only) answer that many people think of when they hear the words traditional dance and Spanish together. But in a country so diverse and so rooted in tradition, did you really think there would be only one answer? Of course not! Flamenco is, not without reason, the most popular and famous of the traditional dances, but there are many more to choose from. And as this weekend celebrates the II annual Festival de la Jotas Españolas in the small town of Rincon de Soto, in La Rioja. Singers from around Spain will be on hand to show off the various styles. From Valencia to local artists, to the Jota Aragonesa - considered the most traditional of the regional styles.

So if you are in La Rioja region this weekend take the day(s) to explore the culture of the town and while you´re there contemplate the dances over a glass of the regional speciality, Rioja!
