Fabulous! The venue, the service, the music, the dancing, could not have been better. A wonderful experience. Everyone was friendly and gracious. The show is set up in a cozy, brick cave or cellar. Everyone is close to the musicians and dancers because it is a small venue. The acoustics are great. Awesome show. I truly loved it. 🩷

Everything was excellent, from the greeting to the dance to the music. Amazing experience, show was amazing- they are all talented and if you appreciate music and flamenco this is the place for you. Went with friends and we were all happy about the experience.

This was great! First...

Elizabeth_S, Sep 2026
This was great! First time seeing flamenco, great way to see some Spanish culture and beat the 100F heat all in one. Would recommend!

Fabulous!

Donna_D, Sep 2026
This is a fabulous show - you learn about flamenco and experience an excellent performance! Great dancing and outstanding musicians.

Brilliant talent

Ellen_M, Sep 2026
The energy, passion and talent was outstanding! Book early, arrive early to sit and enjoy, your wine, sangria or beer In the waiting area. Head to the cave when told and sit back and enjoy the show! It’s wonderful!

Truely Amazing

Stephen_S, Sep 2026
This was amazing in a real small seeing with a small audience. You are so close to musicians and dancers you really feel part of it. Music, singing and dancing was first class. A show NOT to be missed.

You had me at free sangria and I stayed for the wonderful show!

Jessica_J, Sep 2026
It was so awesome seeing an authentic flamenco performance and learning about the history of the art. The space was intimate which really allowed me to absorb every minute of the show. Some more crowd participation would’ve made me feel really involved and a little more activity downstairs would’ve added to the ambiance - maybe serving the complimentary drink at the downstairs bar then if you wanted to drink more you could go to the upstairs bar. Overall, I loved this experience and would recommend to others simply because this felt like a once in a lifetime show. I’m sure no two shows are the exact same!

Incredible and Amazing show.

Fatima_F, Sep 2026
Amazing show with very talented musicians and dancers. It was an incredible experience with lots of entertainment from the talented group. The only thing that would have been nice was if there was a little more seating space and the chairs were a little bit bigger leaving a bit of space between people as it was rather cramped, but that certainly did not detract from the amazing show. The dancers were exceptional and overall it was a lovely experience.

Great tour with Enrique

Elizabeth_D, Sep 2026
We had an absolutely wonderful food tour in Madrid with Enrique! He was incredibly engaging, personable, and knowledgeable, making the entire experience both fun and fascinating. His passion for Spanish food and, especially, the wines of Spain really stood out. We learned so much about the different regions, traditions, and flavors. What made the tour even more special was Enrique’s knowledge of Spanish culture and history, particularly the history of Madrid. He brought the city to life with interesting stories and insights that we would never have discovered on our own. Enrique was a fantastic guide who made us feel welcome from the very beginning. The food, wine, history, and conversation made for a memorable experience. We would highly recommend Enrique to anyone looking for a truly enjoyable and authentic Madrid experience!

Great atmosphere, drink...

Great Experience

Noli, Aug 2026
Good decision watching in an intimate venue. Acoustics is great! I can feel the dancers' powerful shoe tap and emotion. Lead singer and the band just amazing, sends you to a different realm.

Flamenco

Michael_S, Aug 2026
I was worried that this performance would be "touristy", but it was not. WHAT A GREAT SHOW! An intoxicating mix of music, dance, and athleticism. I now understand how Don Jose fell fatally for Carmen.

Spectacular

Akshita_C, Aug 2026
Memorable experience with the impressive history of Flamenco. Soak into the lovely Spanish culture and enjoy an evening of Flamenco

Fun night in Madrid

Stacey_C, Aug 2026

Night out

Sandi_B, Aug 2026
Flamenco is a must see in Madrid... Venue is small but the talent was huge. Staff was very welcoming

Powerful and stunning.

Peter_O, Aug 2026
Absolutely incredible show in a beautiful unique and very intimate setting. My wife and I are artists and musicians ourselves by profession, and I will tell you that the people here have it. They have the talent and passion and drive to keep honing thier craft to a razors edge, but then past that into the area where the beauty becomes effortless and creativity can flow directly though them.

Fabulous Flamenco!

Experience the passion of Flamenco music and dance!

Holly_M, Aug 2026
This was a very enjoyable and entertaining show. Arrive a little early to get checked in and get your drink (I recommend the Sangria). We went downstairs to a small theater for the show, which was captivating and worth the price of admission. Really fun experience.

No better way to see a Flamenco show in Madrid!

Shelly_F, Aug 2026
This was such a vibe! Immediately welcomed with a glass of sangria and lead down a staircase to a small brick room with a stage. I would guess it fits maybe 30 to 40 people. Great lighting, elevated seating so even if you’re in the back row, you can see everything. The dancers, musicians and singers were all so talented! Highly recommend.

Great flamenco show!

Marta_C, Aug 2026
This show was amazing! The passion of the dancers and the flamenco guitar was magical. We also loved the intimate setting, you could experience it up close.

Great show in a unique...

Jacob_L, Aug 2026
Great show in a unique intimate setting. The performers were lo incredibly talented and very passionate about the art form.

Unfortunately, this show...

Aryene_A, Aug 2026
Unfortunately, this show didn’t live up to our expectations. The male dancers barely did any footwork, which was especially disappointing since that was what we were most excited to see. We’d previously watched flamenco street performers and were impressed, so we thought attending a professional show would be even better. Instead, we found it underwhelming and left feeling disappointed.

An Intimate Flamenco Experience You Won’t Forget!

Nadine_M, Aug 2026
If you’re visiting Madrid, don’t miss this show! The venue is intimate—you head downstairs into a cozy basement setting that makes the performance feel incredibly personal. Before the show begins, a woman explains the history of flamenco, first in Spanish and then again in English, which was a wonderful touch and helped us appreciate what we were about to see. The sangria was delicious, the musicians were outstanding, and the dancers were absolutely phenomenal. Their passion, talent, and energy were captivating from beginning to end. This was truly an evening well spent in Madrid and one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended!

Must do in Madrid

Kathryn_G, Aug 2026
