Amazing experience! Never been to a flamenco show but it was so beautiful and passionate. The venue was great and dancers and musicians were top tier. Started off with a giant Sangria then led down to a private wine cellar to watch the show. Every seat in the house has a great view. Definitely worth going if you’re never experienced it before.

Starts upstairs in an elegant salon with a LARGE sangria (or wine or beer) as part of the ticket. Go downstairs to a red brick “cave” for the show. Guitar, cello, beat box instrumentation and solos. 2 females danced with castanets and incredible power!!!! You can totally see the “Gypsy” roots. The hosts were very hospitable. Get there EARLY to sit and enjoy your drink before walking downstairs.

Excellent Flamenco Show

Karen_L, May 2026
Highly recommend this show very intimate, and the performers were excellent. The greeters when you entered the building, we’re very professional and attentive as well and the setting was perfect. The show also is the perfect amount of time.

Not to me missed

Patrick_H, May 2026
Absolutely fantastic. It began with a brief but informative history of flamenco and the gypsies in Spain, followed by masterful guitar, cello percussion and, of course the dancing. The price was right and the complimentary sangria was a nice touch. I give it my highest recommendation

Very fun time!

RAJESH_D, May 2026
It's nice and clean show. But going toward the Studio, lane needs to be better. The lady performer, energy was worth noticing. Simply outstanding and great.

Disappointed

Sal_V, May 2026
Very small stage and limited area for performances, many breaks in between performances. Although Main/lead female performer was very good

Essential Experience

ByronA_R, May 2026
I enjoy flamenco but I’m not expert in it nevertheless I loved the program and it was as authentic as I imagine it could be. All of the performers were outstanding especially the female dancer. She put so much passion into her dancing!! I highly recommend this Essential experience!!

Best Event of my 11 Days in Madrid!

Michael_W, May 2026
The best experience of my time in Madrid! Friends and I went to Madrid to watch the Madrid Open Tennis Tournament. On our first evening, we saw this Flamenco dancing. It was captivating. The emotions conveyed by the dancers, the intensity of their actions and facial expressions and the passion they displayed made it easily the best experience of the 6 excursions I did during my 11 days there. I love the pre-dance lecture on the history of Flamenco dancing which provided great context on how it evolved to the form we watched on stage.

A Night of The Flamenco Arts

Sharli_P, May 2026
A great one hour flamenco show with musical pieces incorporated. They are passionate about their art, you can see and feel it. The sangria was also perfect. My only comment would be to not allow babies into this show. It was very distracting and disappointing for many who had to listen to a baby that wanted attention during this show.

Fun Activity!

Jennifer_S, May 2026
This was so much fun! Highly recommend this as it was worth the time plus very affordable! So cool learning how to make and enjoy paella and sangria!

Must see in town

Michelle_C, Apr 2026

Definite must do

Kevin_C, Apr 2026
Having never been to a Flamenco show - i found this attraction and very glad I made time for it. The staff who greeted at the door were very friendly and the performers were incredible. I also appreciated the opening monologue explaining the history of how Flamenco came to be.

Fantastic Flamenco

Bryan_J, Apr 2026
OMG! Intense and passionate. Excellent all the way around! Singers, musicians, female and male dancers. And the cave in which they performed was intimate and lent itself to the romantic mood. Fantastico!

Great Flamenco Show

Alexis_C, Apr 2026
Intimate setting for Flamenco show (dancing and singing). Smaller crowd in underground room/cave. Good show and good drinks.

Ok not the best

Monica_G, Apr 2026
I have been in other much better the only reason I chose that was because was close to the accommodation for the family Wasn’t impressed but if you are for the first time maybe don’t notice

Fantastic!!

Jennifer_L, Apr 2026
We went with our children, 21, 17, 15, and 13. Although the kids went in thinking they wouldn’t like it, they came out really enjoying the history and the show. The dancers were phenomenal and they loved the guitar and cello player.
