"Spanish Gypsy—the words themselves conjure up the sound of castanets, heels tapping the floor, plaintive yet passionate singing and the unforgettable sight of a seductive figure, back arched, skirts swirling, dancing with fierce grace. This creature, this stereotype, has been all but synonymous with Spain since the 19th century, and there are no signs that her power as a national icon is on the wane."
-From The Spanish Gypsy, The History of a European Obsession By Lou Charnon-Deutsch
