Heat, Loquats and Flamenco

All of the sudden, it's ridiculously hot in Spain. Do you think if I had been brought up without air conditioning, it wouldn't seem as hot now? I've converted to sandals and shorts or skirts only.
Today I ate a loquat. That is what it is in English and I have never heard of it in my life. I think they're from China. Also, yesterday I ate snails. They were not bad, but it was just weird to suck them out of their shells.

Tonight we went to a bar that has a genuine flamenco show. It was one of those cultural experiences. Flamenco seems very strange to me still.
Quick facts about Flamenco: It is native to Andalucia. (southern Spain, where I live)
It is rhythmical. Along with guitar, a lot of it is hand clapping and foot stomping.
It has a sad sound, almost like crying.
Its popularity in Spain began about 150 years ago.

I am now taking questions over Spanish life.
