The journal

The heat in Seville has a physical weight to it, and everything slows to match — including the flamenco, which I watched in a tiny bar where the dancer's heels seemed to argue with the floor. An old woman beside me clapped the rhythm under her breath the whole time, correcting the beat when it slipped.
