Casa Anselma

The one and only, Anselma.

Anselma dancing sevillanas!


Más Sevillanas...

Vírgen del Rocío

Salve Rociera

Located in the heart of Triana, Casa Anselma is one of Sevilla’s gems for live flamenco/sevillana performances. Before we returned to the United States, Bea and I took a girls’ night out for tapitas and some Casa Anselma.

Of course, we made sure to stick around to hear the Salve Rociera at the end of the night. Each night, this song is performed, and Anselma turns the lights off so that all that you can see is an illuminated Virgen del Rocío. As a way of paying respect to the tradition, no one in the bar utters so much as a sound.

Here are a few youtube videos from Casa Anselma:
