Spend one hour at Madrid’s historic Torres Bermejas tablao, opened in 1960 and styled after Granada’s Alhambra towers. Watch singers, guitarists, clappers, and dancers perform flamenco, then choose a show-only, drinks, or dining package.
“It was the best, most breath taking, most emotion packed performance I have ever experienced. Thank you! Loved every second.”
At La Cueva de Lola in Madrid’s La Latina, you’ll watch professional singers, guitarists, and dancers perform a one-hour flamenco show inside a 17th-century cave. Your ticket includes one beer, wine, sangria, or soft drink, with tapas available to order.
“Lucky to have the closest position to the performance stage. Exposed to the energetic and emotional Flamenco!”
Spend about three hours at Corral de la Morería, one of Madrid’s best-known tablaos, for live flamenco with powerful dancing, guitar, and singing. Choose a show-only ticket or add a three-, four-, or five-course Spanish dinner with drinks. The intimate room puts you close to the stage, though some seats have obstructed views.
“More kind of contemporary flamenco. The female dancer dressing was poor, no castanetas or scarf. I have since flamenco many times and this was too modern missing the essence.”
Spend about an hour watching live flamenco at Torres Bermejas, Madrid’s oldest tablao, near Gran Vía and Callao. Choose show-only or add a tapas menu, with vegetarian and vegan options available. Expect close seating, powerful dancing, live guitar and singing, and a historic room linked to Camarón and Paco de Lucía.
“The show was great! The food was okay. I think my salmon was a little under cooked and I found a bone in it. I also never got the sangria I ordered. But overall we had a good time. It was a nice last night in Madrid.”
Spend about 70 minutes in Madrid’s Essential Flamenco cellar, seated close to the stage for live guitar, singing, and powerful dance. A short introduction explains flamenco’s mixed cultural roots, then the artists perform without dinner service or table distractions. Your ticket includes sangria, beer, wine, or a soft drink.
“Superb performance by the team of artists!! Amazing introduction to the Art!!! Beautifully presented”
Spend 50 minutes to an hour at Café Ziryab, a small Madrid tablao known for close-up flamenco with dancers, a guitarist, and singer. Your $29 ticket includes the show and one drink. Order tapas separately, and expect a warm, informal setting with art exhibitions.
“We had an authentic flamrnco evening, good food and great atmosphere!”
At Sala Temple, near Madrid’s Royal Palace, you’ll watch an intimate one-hour flamenco performance with live guitar, singing, and two dancers. Your ticket includes sangria, beer, wine, or a soft drink. The small room seats about 40, and traditional Spanish dishes are available to order.
“It was spectacular: the service was excellent, the food was good and reasonably priced, and the flamenco performer was very friendly and talented.”
Spend an hour with five flamenco artists in Madrid’s historic 1850 vaulted cave. Enjoy a drink, hear a short bilingual talk on flamenco roots, then watch dancers, guitarist, percussionist, and singer perform without microphones or speakers. El Mistela, a National Flamenco Critic Award winner, directs the show.
“That was a really nice show. We really liked the compactness of the venue which made us follow and feel the dance & music. For the drink you can choose between sangria, beer and soft drinks which were pretty enough. The duration was just perfect.”
Spend one hour with professional dancers, singers, and musicians at Tablao Las Carboneras, an intimate venue in the former palace of the Count of Miranda. Your ticket includes a drink, with an optional Spanish dinner. Performers may include José Maldonado, Candy Román, and Juan Herrera.
“Excellent! Perform with skill snd heart as a whole group!”
Spend 1 to 1.5 hours at El Cortijo, a small Madrid tablao where professional guitarists, singers, and dancers perform close to the audience. Choose show-only, premium seating with a drink, dinner during the performance, or a workshop covering flamenco history and dance.
“The place was easy to find and it was a great local spot with an authentic feel. The dancers were amazing and we really enjoyed ourselves!”
At Torres Bermejas, you’ll watch a one-hour flamenco performance in a Granada-inspired room near Gran Vía and Callao. Expect dancers, a singer, and guitarist, with show-only, drink, and dinner options. Check your ticket carefully, since food and wine inclusions vary by package.
“Excellent live show with experienced and impressive performances from all. Venue very atmospheric and friendly staff. My only negative point is the online booking and the ticket/event description said a free drink was included with the show but it was not and I had to pay. I suspect this was not the venue to blame but Viator's error in not clarifying what was/was not included.”
At Tablao Las Tablas near Plaza de España, you watch a one-hour flamenco performance with dancers, singers, and guitarists in a small theater. Your ticket includes wine or sangria, with an optional Spanish meal featuring salads and Iberian products. Plan extra time to find the entrance.
“Words can't describe how the amazing performers dazzled us with their hypnotic performance. The guitarist, singer/human beat man, female and male dancers seemed to be in a trance as they never missed a brat.”
Spend about an hour at Tablao de la Villa watching live flamenco dancing, guitar, and singing in an intimate Madrid venue. Your ticket includes one drink. Dinner is optional, costs extra, and requires an early arrival based on your show time. Children under six are not admitted.
