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.

Food, service, ambiance, and performances were amazing! Highly recommend if you are in this area…read more Air conditioning works well too.

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.

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.

This place is closer to the city center than the others but still you need to climb some small hills to get there, and more if you follow the google map directions, lol. The show was astonishing. The show is in cave, which adds more character to the presentation. The dancers seemed to be enjoying what they were doing and they were dancing like they were in front of a big or knowledgeable audience. I do not know much about this dance , but I found the show very entertaining and I could feel all the emotion from the dancing . All dancers were good but one of the female dancer was extraordinary. I think it was my highlight of the Granada trip. Well done !!

Simply put, this is one of the best ways you can spend your money in Granada…read more I can't speak to the food. I didn't eat there, and I don't recommend you do, either. Just go to hear the music and see the dance. You don't want to be that clown clinking your silverware while a woman is pouring her heart out on stage. That will happen, especially among certain tourist groups from certain countries renowned for their discourtesy. (If you want to get a drink, they're not great here, but that's more acceptable. Just be respectful about when you set your glass back down.) El Templo del Flamenco is a *fantastic* music and dance experience. There's one male singer, one female, one guitarist, one guy who claps (and sometimes dances) and two women who clap, stomp and dance. The music is passionate. The performances are powerful. The venue (a hidden, whitewashed cave) is unique. You will have a great time, guaranteed. I was seriously wowed by the talent on display. As I mentioned, I was deeply annoyed that waiters would frequently have to service tables in the middle of performances. And I was annoyed that certain tourist groups from certain countries renowned for their discourtesy had no idea how to silence their cameras so they wouldn't chime every time they went to take a picture. And I was annoyed that certain-certains also had a way of clinking their silverware at the absolute worst musical moments. But if you can get past that, you will see amazing artists at the top of their game, giving you passion that could melt stone. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEnd3De0Jak Grand finale video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omGk3iyZklA Warning: El Templo del Flamenco is *seriously* difficult to find. I wrote them in advance to secure our place and they had one of their employees meet us (and others) at the Puerta de Elvira (an easy-to-find monument). From there, you ascend *several* winding staircases to get to the venue. It's not an easy climb unless your middle name is Stairmaster. If you miss the escort, it may be possible to find the venue with an offline map app, like "maps.me," although such offline maps tend to be woefully incomplete. You will be shocked at how hidden this place is. Warning #2: If you attend the later of the two performances, be sure to have eaten *before* the show. Granada tends to shut down earlier than other Spanish towns we visited, so we were literally racing from closed restaurant to closed restaurant, searching in vain for something open that late. Come with a full belly and you'll be happier. (If you attend the first performance of the night, most restaurants should be at your disposal for a post-show meal.)

E quando diciamo partecipare è perché davvero si viene coivolti a 360 gradi nell'esperienza del canto e del ballo.

We had met dancer owner Enrique Carmona Cortes, aka El Canastero earlier in the day. We had a few friends in common, so he invited us to attend the evening show. The establishment is named after his mother Maria La Canastera, we had a great time meeting his family and enjoying the flamenco dancing. It is great that most of the caves have now installed wood floors for the dancers. Needed for the footwork and most important for the care of the dancer's body. We had a great time, and we have visited a few caves throughout the years and all of them have good flamenco shows. But the history the Zambra carries is special within the history of flamenco dance.
