The Roma are famous for their Flamenco style &#8212; <em>Zambra<\/em> &#8212; and there are many places in Sacromonte that have performances of that style, in the caves. However, all the reports I&#8217;ve seen say that they are pretty touristy, and people were not impressed with the performances. I think I found one that matches our tastes better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex

intrigued me since I learned about it is the significance of the Moorish decorations there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A shambling series of interconnecting quadrangles, the Alhambra began its life as a small fortress in 899 in present-day Granada, Spain. It took off in its ascent from mere building to legend in the 11th century, when the Moorish king of Granada, Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar, renovated its ruins, a project continued and embellished upon by his successor Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada, in 1333.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flash forward several centuries, when British designer Owen Jones extolled the place in a now-seminal volume from 1836. He later gave Moorish pattern and the Alhambra pride-of-place in his Grammar of Ornament, one of pattern\u2019s most cited works.<\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.printmag.com\/design-inspiration\/patterns-of-the-alhambra\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.printmag.com\/design-inspiration\/patterns-of-the-alhambra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jude Stewart<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Alhambra is at the very summit of perfection of Moorish art, as is the Parthenon of Greek art. We can find no work so fitted to illustrate a\u00a0<em>Grammar of Ornament<\/em>\u00a0as that in which every ornament contains a grammar within itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Owen Jones,&nbsp;<em>The Grammar of Ornament<\/em>, 1856<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scholars have debated the point, but it seems officially agreed that the Alhambra includes examples of all 17 of the so-called \u201cwallpaper groups,\u201d all of the possible permutations one can make with a repeating pattern on a flat plane.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This fact is even more amazing when you realize that the Moors of that day did not have the mathematics to discover that there are only 17 possible patterns, but they did manage to include them all at the Alhambra. (No, I&#8217;m not going to try to find them all, but my eyes will be more open with that knowledge.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wallpaper_group\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wallpaper_group\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mathematics of patterns on Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tapas_in_Granada\"><\/span>Tapas in Granada<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s a great video made by James Blick, a New Zealander who moved to Spain, and creates great travel guides about Spain.
