PASIÓN
As we arrive at Son Amar, this gracious 16th century Mallorquin manor house, set in the foothills of the majestic Serra de Tramuntana mountains, we are greeted by a scene that begs for a photograph to keep as one of our lasting memories of this exquisite island.
We make our way up the elegant drive, lined by lemon and orange trees, and we are met by the guard of the manor mounted on his magnificent horse, leading the way to the famous courtyard.
The Mallorquin courtyard is as Mediterranean as the siesta and olive oil! These singular architectural spaces, hold an aesthetic beauty and unique individuality that cannot be found elsewhere. Gentle folk by nature, the Mallorquines showed their hospitality to travellers and visitors here, the workers from the fields received their pay and here was the heart of the family home.This Mallorquin courtyard, with its grand sweeping staircase and its charming chapel, offered water and shade in the summer, protection against the rain in the winter and served as a place for games, gossiping and flirting, as well as a market place for the sale of goods. No change from today then!
Today, we find market stalls here at Son Amar, displaying the goods from Mallorquin fincas, bodegas and artisans.The atmosphere is further enhanced by the artists dressed in traditional Mallorquin costumes, who are here to greet us. And adding to this delightful scene, we are accompanied by the music of the Spanish guitar.
The next stage of our visit is past the Tafona, (the place where all the olives were once pressed) to the purpose-built theatre, where the stage is set for the spectacular show “Pasión”.
Pasión - the Show
This is essentially a story of wild, intense and passionate love - of jealousy and suffering, of happiness and joy, of a dramatic love triangle between the beautiful, headstrong gypsy Gisela, the proud and handsome Mario and the sensuous Arabic girl, Aisha.
The action is spectacular, the scenes transport us to the world where Flamenco was born, and as the Arabic roots of the island become absorbed forever into the Mallorquin culture, we reach the climax of the story as we discover who will, at last, win the heart of our Spanish lover.The finale, as expected of this world-famous Son Amar show, is a breathtaking an unforgettable scene.
