Organizers promise the sultriest flamenco in New Orleans history, but if dancing isn't your thing, feel free to stuff your face with tapas and paella specially prepared by the masters. Then be sure to get a good night's sleep for the Running of the Bulls on Saturday. The pre-party begins at 7am at the Three Legged Dog. Think of this weekend like a vacation to Spain, only you never have to leave the French Quarter. Trippy, eh?
