...dozen nightclubs and 25 bars, emboldened by a local libation called Aspen Crud, a vanilla milk shake laced with anything alcoholic. Latest place is Stromberg's, in the basement beneath a drugstore, where skiers dine on escargots, fondue and hot posh (cappuccino and rum), stay on for recorded flamenco, folk and jazz.

The turn-of-the-century architect, Antoni Gaudi, resorted in his unfinished Church of the Holy Family in Barcelona to restless linear rhythms that recall the Moorish Alhambra. Andalusian laments still recall an Arab origin, and even the haunting cries of flamenco suit a caliph better than a king...
