Spain · AUTHENTIC FLAMENCO SHOWS IN MADRID
The old Madrid rooms pay for a full company and the singers stay all night. These 9 are priced and timed, with the late slot marked where it exists.
Spend 1 to 1.5 hours at El Cortijo, a small Madrid tablao where professional dancers, singers, and guitarists perform close to the audience. Choose the show alone, add a drink and better seating, or include dinner. You can also book a workshop covering flamenco history and basic dance.
“Amazing! Even though we had a side seat we really enjoyed the show!”
Spend one hour at Teatro Flamenco Madrid watching dancers, singers, and guitarists present the major flamenco styles in an intimate theater. General, premium, and VIP tickets are available. Choose VIP for preferential access, unlimited drinks, cloakroom service, and a meet and greet. Seating is unnumbered, so arrive ready to follow staff guidance.
“It was stunning I was deeply touched, and during the show I could feel my tears were about to come out. Love it.”
At Flamenco de Leones, you’ll watch top-level dancers, singers, and guitarists perform traditional flamenco with a modern edge. The central venue looks toward Puerta de Alcalá, and you can add tapas or dinner to your table. Allow 1 to 2.5 hours, dress formally, and remember that drinks cost extra.
“Amazing experience! You can feel the heart and spirit of Madrid!”
Join a guide such as Arantxa, Eleanor, Isabel, or Flo for a three-hour walk through central Madrid. Visit the Maty flamenco shop, learn about the music and costumes, watch a one-hour show at Las Carboneras, and finish with four tapas and wine or cava. The group is limited to 12 people.
“Rosita was delightful, very knowledgeable and led a great tour. The tapas establishments were very authentic and the food was delicious. The flamenco show exceeded all of our expectations. The show was outstanding. A can’t miss in Madrid.”
At Taberna Flamenca El Cortijo, you’ll enjoy a Spanish starter, a choice of shared-style ración, and a drink before a passionate live flamenco show. Join Melody for an optional workshop covering flamenco’s background and basic steps. The small venue sits in Puente de Vallecas, about 10 to 15 minutes from central Madrid by direct metro.
“My flamenco experience was awesome! If your looking for a authentic, intimate show, I highly recommend! I had read reviews about the food portions being small, but I believe they must of changed things because i recieved a appetizer and main! Lots of food! The staff was great! And my dance lesson after the show was so fun! Thank you thank you!!”
Spend an evening at Taberna Flamenca El Cortijo, a neighborhood tablao near Portazgo station. Expect about one hour of live flamenco with dancers, a singer, and guitarist, plus a short break. Two evening show times make it easy to fit into your Madrid plans. Food and drinks are available separately.
“I moved from the central region of Madrid to the Taberna El Cortizo region by metro. I planned the tour in two stages being the 1st at the Retiro Park and Prado Museum. Back to the metro (Estaçao Retiro), we descend at Estaçao Sol on line 1, until we arrive at Estaçao Portazgo...The Estaçao is less than 300 metres from the Taberna. That is, the program, although a bit tired by the stages of the course, is quite valid by cost/benefit.Auto-translated”
At Tablao Flamenco La Carmela, director Juan Andrés Heredia Maya brings dancers, singers, guitarists, and percussionists together for an 80-minute flamenco fusion show. You’ll watch from an intimate basement venue near Puerta del Sol and receive one wine, beer, or soft drink. Expect passion, live music, and simple staging rather than a large theatrical production.
“This show was an such an incredible exprience! Truly amazing performance, We highly recommend it!!!!”
Spend three hours with an English-speaking local guide in central Madrid, beginning at the Maty flamenco shop, then walking past Plaza Mayor to Las Carboneras for a one-hour show. Finish with four tapas, two drinks, and practical tips at a family-run Iberian ham and cheese shop. Rosita has led at least one especially warm and engaging departure.
Meet Santiago for a one-hour flamenco session near Antón Martín market, at the Amor de Dios academy on Calle de Santa Isabel. You’ll hear live guitar and vocals, watch Spanish dancers, learn about different flamenco styles, and enjoy wine in a small group of no more than 10 people. Central pickup may be available.
