Hola, soy Rebecca Cuningham. Welcome to Fake Flamenco! ¡Bienvenidos! I’ve created a website about travel in Spain and Latin America, including articles on culture, history, language and raising a bilingual child. Over the past ten years I’ve written a book called Supergringa in Spain: A Travel Memoir about studying abroad. It’s like Room with a View meets David Sedaris’ Me Talk Pretty One Day. Minnesota girl goes abroad with seven suitcases, to discover new ways of thinking from Latin Americans and Spaniards; woman of the world comes home and jettisons much of her US baggage to live a bilingual life. I’m currently looking for representation by a literary agent.
So, what’s this “fake flamenco”? That’s me pretending to dance without formal instruction, or to speak a second language without mistakes. It’s a metaphor for learning; making closer approximations until we succeed in understanding or being understood.
Select the latest blog post for a taste! Or, join me in España. ¡Olé!
P.S. To learn Flamenco dance, vocals or guitar, visit Carmen de las Cuevas, Granada.

Rebecca, I was already following your blog, but I didn’t realize you’d spent so much time in Spain, which is my favorite country, specifically Barcelona. ¿y habla Español?

Gracias por tu comentario, amiga. Si, ¡hablo español! I love Barcelona too. It was fun to read about your time in Costa Rica. I enjoyed the ticos, the natural beauty and the good food.
