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.)

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

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.

If you love flamenco but don't wanna spend 30-50 Euros at an expensive tablao, I recommend this…read morecool and inexpensive bar where you can enjoy watching decent live flamenco performance while munching on yummy montaditos. According to my Malagueña friend, this place used to be a dance club before it was recently renovated into a flamenco tablao/school. The show takes place upstairs on the 2nd floor at night, and there is a flamenco class held downstairs on the first floor during the day time. The flamenco performance starts at 8:30pm every night and on Monday night the cover charge was only 3 Euros per person(!) Depending on the day, you may just get a recorded music instead of the accompanying live flamenco music. When we saw the show on weekday night, 4 female dancers performed for about an hour and they kept changing their costume for almost every song. Although I enjoyed the show, I can't help but wish there was a male dancer too because it makes such a huge difference!! Also the venue has a weird stage set up(you'll know what I mean when you see it) with limited seatings so the reservation is a must.Considering the price, I can't really compare this to the really powerful and spectacular flamenco performance I've seen at Arenal in Sevilla years ago because that won't be fair. For a mere 3 euro cover, you get more than eyeful of flamencas dancing passionately, which is an amazing deal!! I'm not sure if the price on other days is the same. The food and drinks are cheap, I recommend their 6 Euros 4 montaditos combo in which you can choose from 4 different toppings. Their sliders (hamburguesas) are not bad, too. And for every drink, you get a small plate of jamon and aceitunas. 6 of us got 1-2 drinks each and shared a few plates of tapas and only paid about 10 euros each, including the cover charge. This is a fantastic deal guys, I bet this place is going to be even more popular! Warning!! - at the end of the show, the flamenco dancers will try to pick someone from the audience to dance with them. My naughty friends told them to pick me!!! My friends had a blast watching me making a fool out of myself, but oh well, whatever!!

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.
