Lola Flores

Lola icon of Andalusian dance and song watches over the barrio San Miguel where she was born and started her career. "La Faraona" died of breast cancer in 1995, aged 72, and was buried in the Cementerio de la Almudena in Madrid. Shortly after her death, her distraught 33-year-old son, Antonio Flores, committed suicide by overdosing on barbiturates and was buried beside her.
We can see Lola from the window of the apartment where we are staying.
