Flamenco Granada

• Feel like Maria Cortes Heredia, one of the city’s most famous flamenco stars, when watching a show at her former family cave home: Zambra Maria la Canastera.

• Relive the birth of the Zambra style of flamenco in, what many people consider one of the best place to see flamenco in Granada, Venta El Gallo. The small and intimate venue offers delicious Andalusian tapas to accompany the dance show. 

• Attend El Tabanco Granada club and delight your ears with the sounds of singers and musicians that gather to play for small crowds almost every night.

• Immerse yourself in flamenco history while visiting the oldest flamenco club, Peña la Platería. You can even take flamenco guitar and singing classes to learn the basics!

• Round off your experience with a visit to the Flamenco museum in the Sacromonte Caves, and learn all about this fascinating Spanish art form.

The Gypsy caves in Granada or Cuevas (like Spanish natives call them) are picture-perfect for social media. Here are some ideas for you to capture the experience: 

• The first time you see the best flamenco show in Granada, make sure to capture the perfect shot of the flamenco dancer as her dress moves around to the beat.

• Look out for decorative copper pots on the washed walls, add a filter to give a rustic and local feel to your photo.

• Peña la Platería, set in the Albaicín district next to the palace and fortress complex, offers stunning views of the Alhambra. Snap that panoramic shot!

• Get yourself a polka dot dress and capture yourself striking the classic flamenco dance pose.

Choose your best snap from one of the most instagrammable venues in the city listed above. Post it on your IG, and tag #dotravelgram to be featured!

• If you’re looking for non touristy flamenco shows Granada has to offer; then you’ll want to head over to bars called Peñas. These typical bars are where the locals hang out, although some of them only play music rather than put on a show. When you book your flamenco show ticket, you're guaranteed the full performance.

• If you’d like to experience flamenco shows in a different venue, La Casa del Arte Flamenco is the place to go. Instead of a cave setting, the Casa del Arte is decked out with theatre seats and a stage.

• In most venues, you can enjoy a show and a full-course dinner. Reserve your authentic flamenco Granada tickets in advance.

• All of these top venues for Granada flamenco bars are very popular and sell out fast, so to avoid disappointment, make sure you book ahead to guarantee your seat!

• Flamenco caves are quite small and therefore, it’s recommended to arrive early and choose a seat where you can fully appreciate the dance. For flamenco nights to remember, book one of the private group shows with dinner and transport.

• When it comes to a flamenco show Granada has everything: enjoy a dinner and dance combination show, moonlit dancing in the warm mountain air, or intimate performances in underground taverns. Choose the flamenco show best suited for your Granada vacation!
