Where to See Flamenco in Granada - The Best Tablaos and Flamenco Shows

If you want a special night out, enjoy a dazzling flamenco show at one of the most celebrated tablaos of Sacromonte or in the Albaicín while having a dinner or a drink.


Zambra is the most traditional form of flamenco that was born in the Sacromonte and is tpically 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 with 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 very close to the public.

It developed in Andalusia between XVIII and XIX 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, in others you can see only the show. Most of them give you a drink with the show. The price is around twenty euros.
