Barcelona Flamenco Shows

    More about: Barcelona Flamenco Shows

    Flamenco is much more than a passionate dance and exciting music. It is an art. A feeling that is difficult to describe in words. The best way to experience it is to see a flamenco show in an authentic tablao, letting yourself be carried away by the sound of guitars and hand-clapping.

    Barcelona is one of the great capitals of flamenco in Spain, along with Andalusia and Madrid. Immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere and enjoy the "duende" of this art form declared Intangible Heritage of Humanity by Unesco!

    Barcelona Flamenco Show Tickets at Tablao Cordobes

    Experience the passion for flamenco music and art!

    This is the perfect option if you want to enjoy an authentic flamenco show in a historic tablao in Barcelona where the best flamenco artists perform. You can include a drink or dinner at the tablao if you choose this option.

    El Tablao Cordobés is the place to go if you want to see a genuine temple of flamenco where stars such as Camarón de la Isla, Carmen Amaya, Tomatito, Bambino and Farruco have performed.

    Located on La Rambla in Barcelona, if there's one thing I like about this tablao, it's that the atmosphere is that of a great family flamenco party, where in addition to listening to good music you can also dine and spend a very pleasant evening.

    It is not the typical product to attract tourists, but the Tablao Cordobés is the living history of the city and a true reference point for flamenco culture in Barcelona. The only surviving tablao from the golden age of Catalan tablaos. There must be a reason, right?

    And since its origins, its commitment to flamenco has been unquestionable. They have always strived to bring to their audiences the best artists of the genre, both flamenco legends and young promises.

    In addition, the Tablao Cordobés, with its Nasrid-style décor, wicker chairs and cave-like vaulted architecture reminds me very much of Sacromonte, a picturesque neighbourhood in Granada where gypsies have lived since the 16th century and where there are also some fabulous flamenco tablaos famous for their magnificent parties.

    Why I like this option... This is a historic venue in Barcelona where this genre is pampered as in the golden years of the flamenco tablaos and it shows. The artists give their all on stage and you can breathe pure talent. Highly recommended for a unique night out!

    Recommended if... You're looking to see an authentic flamenco show in a unique setting and enjoy the best Spanish cuisine.
