Inn of el Potro - "Fosforito" Flamenco Centre. Cordoba, Spain
This building, situated in the square which is also named el Potro (the colt) gives us a remarkable insight into popular 14th and 15th century housing. They were known in popular jargon as corrales (yards), and were arranged around a communal courtyard with a well in the middle. It was one of Cervantes' favourite haunts both in his works and in real life as well as staying here, some scenes in his works are set here too. The Posada del Potro (Inn of el Potro) - “Fosforito” Flamenco Centre has recently become a new venue for the performance, production, research and dissemination of Flamenco.
