9 Best Flamenco Shows in Granada – Where to Go and How to Pick One

If you're seeking a special night out, enjoy a dazzling flamenco show at one of the most celebrated tablaos of Granada while having dinner or a drink.


Zambra is the most traditional form of flamenco, born in Sacromonte and typically performed in venues known as tablaos.

Its Arab origin takes us back to the 15th century when the Moors, who had been expelled, settled here and lived alongside the gypsies.

The word "zambra" comes from the Arabic zumrã, meaning wedding celebration. The gypsies from Granada adopted these rituals and incorporated elements of their culture. Zambra is danced in close proximity to the audience.

It developed in Andalusia between the 18th and 19th centuries and is influenced by the mixture of various cultures: Arab, Jewish and Christian.

The art of flamenco combines several elements: singing, playing and dancing.

It was declared Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2010.

Flamenco shows in Granada normally start at 21:00 and last until dawn.

Some places offer dinner and a show, while others only offer the show. Most of them include a drink with the show. The price is around twenty euros.


Here, we list some of the best authentic places to see flamenco shows in Granada. These venues offer captivating performances that truly stand out, transmitting passion and vibrant energy.

Tablao Vimaambi, exciting, impressive, and moving

“It was our last day and we wanted to see a flamenco show in the afternoon. And what did we find? Taller de Arte Tablao Vimaambi.

Let me express how amazing the afternoon was: I have never seen a flamenco show so exciting, impressive, and moving. It was simply fantastic and wonderful.

Especially their flamenca Victoria, who made me cry. One day she will be a great dancer because she already — despite being only 17 years old — has all the skills a flamenca needs: her compás, her talent in dancing, and her excellent footwork.

Amazing! I want Victoria to be congratulated on behalf of the German couple sitting in the front row during her performance — it was simply magnificent! When we return to Granada, we will visit you again. (Pilar)

Beautiful show, and everyone was very kind

We were in Granada last week and went to the Cueva La Rocio. They treated us very well and the show was very beautiful. Everything was full of kindness.

We ordered some beers and they gave us a large plate of fried fish as an appetizer, which cost 9 euros. Then we watched the show for 20 euros and it included a drink, which was a glass. They were very attentive the whole time (Mariano)

Cueva del Curro

I was at the Cueva del Curro. Spectacular, the fair-haired gypsy was very kind, and the content is of great value for all fans of cante grande and copla. With explanations of all kinds.

Flamenco La Petenera

It’s a shame it doesn’t appear on this website, as it’s an impressive show. I had previously seen another one at Le Chien Andalou and, although it was good, it’s not comparable.

The tablao, the acoustics, and the place are unbeatable. The artists put their whole soul into the performance. Highly recommended.

The caves and the magic of that place

I just returned from a trip through Spain and I am still amazed at the wonder that is Granada. I was at the Cueva de la Rocío in Sacromonte, delighted watching the dance, the caves, and the magic of that place. I think I will return, it fascinated me! Greetings from Argentina!

Venta El Gallo

I went with my partner. We had a relaxed dinner on the terrace with incredible views of the Alhambra and then watched the show. It was a truly unforgettable evening. The artists were excellent, the kind that make you feel, and the food was very good. We had a typical tasting menu based on tapas, and we both loved it. We left truly satisfied.

The artists were very professional and truly conveyed the art

At our hotel they recommended one of the best tablaos to see a show of about an hour in a central area, since going up to Sacromonte wasn’t convenient for us — though we would have loved to.

The place was called La Alborea, it had two floors, and we decided to choose the seating area downstairs, with a sangria included in the ticket.

The show started around 9, and for an hour there was singing, a guitar solo, and several dances. The artists were very professional and cheerful; they conveyed the art.

Finally, with a very lively dance with a shawl and castanets, the show ended. We definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience this art of Granada.

Wonderful, but the atmosphere felt too commercial to me

Yes, we were there last Saturday, in a cave where a wonderful group danced and sang. I loved their art, both the female dancers and the singer, one of the reasons I went to Granada.

My suggestion would be for them to have a bit more contact with the audience. They sang, danced, and left very quickly. The atmosphere felt too commercial to me.

The tarantos, without a doubt

The dancers, the singers, and the guitarist left me speechless. Kind, warm people who open their home to you and make you enjoy it. I’m from Granada and I’ve been to many caves, all great, but this one takes the gold.

Cuevas Los Tarantos

I took a group of about 50 to Granada. We stayed in a lovely hotel - The AC Palacio de Santa Paula. We loved your city and plan on retu
ing. I normally do not complain but I felt that I should share with you a very unfortunate experience that we had. We went to Cuevas Los Tarantos, Cuevas for a Flameno dance and dinner. It was the worst event of the entire 10 day trip through Spain and Portugal.
