Walking around San Diego and El Centro within the walled city is magical right after sunset. The streets come alive with light, people and music. The four of us went to a restaurant called El Burlador just off the Plaza de Santa Domingo. All the staff were quite welcoming, and the food was good, but the very best thing was that we were seated right by the small stage where three musicians performed flamenco music. The guitarist's fingers flew over the strings. The percussionist played four different instruments. The singer, who had an amazing voice and a wonderful stage presence, also played castinets for some of the numbers, and the mike stand was set aside at times for her to dance the flamenco. Even though we had just paid the bill, we sat through the last set of three numbers because it was just so amazing.
