Attention flamenco fans. There will be dancing in the streets of Andalusia, that southernmost region of Spain, this year.

To promote the region's heritage as the birthplace of flamenco, the tourist board of Andalusia, Turismo Andaluz, has created five "Routes to Flamenco." These five-day itineraries, posted at www.andalucia.org/flamenco, highlight free performances, lectures and classes to be offered the rest of this year.

Visitors planning a trip to the region in May, for instance, might want to check out the Route of the Great Figures itinerary from Málaga to Seville. On May 15, flamenco lessons will be offered in Alora. The next evening in Archidona, there will be a talk on the history of flamenco. On May 17 in Seville, travelers can enjoy a show and lecture about flamenco singing.
