“A Fun and Unforgettable Experience - I was in Sitges celebrating a friend’s birthday. While looking for things to do in Sitges on TripAdvisor, I came across this Dress up like a Flamenca dancer experience. It was such a fun and unique way to celebrate my friend. We all had such a fun time while the owner Mercedes dressed us up like a flamenco! 💃 She has a cute shop filled with beautiful clothes and jewelry made by local artists to look at and buy. And Mercedes could not have been nicer as she helped us bring out the power of the flamenca woman within us! We took lots of pictures out in her adorable patio. An experience we will never forget! And now our friends, as they see our pictures, are super jealous.” - Reviewed on 2024-06-25
