It was hard to select a place to see a flamenco show during my stay in Granada after reading all…read morethe mixed reviews I found in internet. I made the right choice !! 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.)

A Granada si va essenzialmente per godersi l'Alhambra. Lo abbiamo fatto anche noi…read more Ma sarebbe un errore lasciare la città senza avere partecipato ad uno spettacolo di flamenco tradizionale in una cueva del Sacromonte. E quando diciamo partecipare è perché davvero si viene coivolti a 360 gradi nell'esperienza del canto e del ballo. Non vi aspettate il classico tablao: le performance degli artisti si svolgono al centro della sala, lunga e stretta, a due centimetri dal vostro viso. Il vostro corpo percepisce le vibrazioni del pavimento calpestato dalle bailarinas. Anche noi, solitamente timidi e ritrosi a questo tipo di serate, ci siamo lasciati trasportare, copia di vino alla mano, dall'atmosfera familiare di questa grotta. Non possiamo che consigliarvela!

We visited the Zambra in the Sacromonte barrio of Granada on March 12, 2024, just a few weeks ago…read moreas part of a 6-week investigative plan and vacation in Spain. 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. Ole to all of them. Michael Miguel Bernal

Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes.

How did the moroscos, gypsies (Roma/Gitanos), and early Christians--hiding from enemies over the centuries--actually live? The emphasis here is on Sacromonte's more recent 19th century heritage rather than medieval.

Charming, helpful personnel run the museum.
