We did not visit the museum, unless you count the gift shop. We did however attend the flamenco theater. The play is about a poem written by a respected Granada writer. The poem is about incest and rape, so not a very happy play. The performance is an interpretation of the poem with the use of music, song, and flamenco dance. There's not a lot of participants (two dancers and two musicians) and the venue seats about 20 people. The performers are very humble and true thespians, performing solely to entertain and enjoy their craft. Very talented performers so I would recommend this if you are in the mood for something a little bit different and unique.

The hostess was incredibly welcoming and not only helped me purchase a ticket on the spot, but also walked me inside the theater to make sure I got the best seat. Depending on which show and ticket option you select from, a paella dinner is offered, which I wish I had discovered sooner! Since the seating was more theater-style, my seats at Jardines de Zoraya were better. However, the performance itself wasn't as impressive as the other shows I saw during my trip. They leaned a bit too much into contemporary elements with their outfits, when in reality, most tourists are looking for the classic flamenco experience--polka dots, ruffled dresses, and all.

I was expecting some difficulty with language however, it was a great experience. They friendly, attentive and accommodating. Ambience: Dining in the garden is the vibe. Simply beautiful. The outside dining experience here is real special.

I'm a flamenco dancer taking intensive courses at Escuela de Carmen de las Cuevas, and while here…read moreI've been touring as many of the local tablaos as I can, so here's how Tablao Flamenco Albayzin stacks up compared to others: Price is typical of tablaos (around 16-18 Euros) and includes a free drink (most people order sangria or tinto de verano - red wine with lemon soda). Show will be mostly flamenco, but as their website mentions, they will have one belly dance. This venue's decoration and this part of the performance are more Arabic-influenced than others - so if that interests you, this is a good show for you. The GOOD: -Though this theater feels large and holds 150 people, the audience is arranged on 3 sides of the elevated stage (front and 2 peripheries), and every row of audience seats is on risers, so you can easily see over the heads in front of you regardless of where you are seated. -Show is 1 hour and 15 minutes, which is a little longer than most. There was a singer, guitarist, and 3 female bailaoras (dancers) and 1 male bailaor. To me 1 of the bailaroas was pretty sloppy, 1 mostly did the belly dancing, and then the other was phenomenal - in terms of expression and precise technique. The male bailaor was also fantastic in these elements (the night I went). Every tablao venue seems to have their own structure of how they have the performers dance, in this one every dancer soloed for a long time - so if there's one you really don't like, you'll still get to see several others. The MEH: -Unfortunately the night I went it seemed to attract large tourist groups who are not self-aware; there was a large French group behind me who were talking SO loudly during a very quiet and beautiful solo dance that it even distracted the singer on stage as he glared at them (though they did not even notice this...). Not the venues fault, but I did notice the largeness of this theater seems to mean that they can, and therefore do, accommodate large tourist groups who may be loud. -Some of these large tourist groups may also, unfortunately, be in possession of selfie sticks and trying to take photos and use their giant iPads to record videos so that you are forced to have the view of the show on their device instead of just viewing the show...(Other venues like Casa del Arte prohibit videoing/photos until the very last dance of the performance). If you only get to go to one show in Granada, I wouldn't make it here, I'd go where you're guaranteed to see great dancers in a space that respects the art form: casa Del arte does this without fail.

Only complaint is they have really small non-cushioned chairs for seating but because venue was not packed when we went, it was comfortable enough (would've been rough if it was sold out though). Recommended!

Fortunately the venue was half-full and we were promptly seated. For €10 per person, including one glass of sangria, it was a steal.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!…read more You probably think you know flamenco but you can't know it until you've been here and see it up close and personal with some of the best flamingo dancers in Spain. You sit very close together in a small cave and the dancers are inches away from you. I realize this is not just some romantic dance but a powerful way of communicating strong emotions. The dancers are incredibly talented, emotive, precise, energetic! They playfully interact with the audience, one of the performers taking the hat off my head and improvising a dance with it-- incredible! The level of physical skill required is breathtaking, like the fastest tap dancer you've ever seen you wonder how they can move their feet that fast. This was absolutely one of the highlights of my visit to Spain, and it could be for you, too.

We came only for the show however they also have a dinner + show option. The ticket price ~20€ per person, included one drink, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Soon after we arrived and checked in with the host we were taken to our assigned seats. Our beverage order was then taken and the drinks were quickly brought out to us since they stated we needed to finish the drink before the show started. I must admit this was a bit rushed. The show lasted for ~1 hour and it was good. Those flamenco dancers are impressive, so much emotion in their faces, such intense and fast footwork, it's quite the endurance workout with each dance. There were three female and one male dancers. They each got their turn to do a dance a couple of times around. We were sitting very close to where the dancers were sitting and those lights directed at them were really hot! We were sweating, I can't even imagine how hot they must have felt. Yes, it may be a bit touristy as others mentioned, especially if you're visiting in high season, but who other than tourists would go to a flamenco show? If you're visiting Andalucía, where flamenco originated, I'd definitely recommend going to a flamenco show but especially if you're in Granada since being in a cave adds a bit more drama to the ambiance.
