The 12 Best Places to Watch Flamenco in Seville
The Best Places to Watch Flamenco in Seville
When you hear people talk about flamenco, you will often hear the word duende thrown about. This is a word with no exact translation, but what they are referring to is the spirit of the performance; the passion on display. No one knows for sure where flamenco was born, but it was certainly in southern Spain, between Seville, Cadíz and Granada. Seville however is the most important pillar nowadays to see some of the best flamenco in the world. What follows are, in our opinion, the twelve best places to watch flamenco in Seville.
12 – El Patio Sevillano
Paseo de Cristobal Colon 11
Flamenco developed as a way for the gypsies to express the sadness of their downtrodden lives. As such, many of the first flamenco performances happen in bars as these passionate souls got to talking about their dejection but found words not enough to express their woe. It is for this reason that I say some of the most authentic, and therefore best, places to watch flamenco in Seville are in these bars. One of the best laid out of these bars is El Patio Sevillano. You’ll need to arrive early for front row seats as it’s first come first serve. But regardless of where you sit, you’ll see plenty and it is a very complete show with lots of artists doing both flamenco and clásico español with castagnettes. El Patio, along with most other tablaos in Seville are better if you want a whole evening out rather than just a flamenco show.
11 – Auditorio Alvarez Quintero
Calle Alvarez Quintero 48
Duende is a word referring to the spirit of the dance, how much the performance touches those watching. Auditorio Alvarez Quintero may just be your standard Tabloa (bar) with tapas on offer, but the dancers are professional and soul touching. As with all the best places to watch flamenco in Seville, you will find an abundance of duende here!
10 – El Palacio Andaluz
Calle de Maria Auxiliadora 18
Flamenco is at its best in a no thrills show, when the dancing does the talking without any need for gimmicks. All that is needed to provide and excellent show is for passion and skill to come together. There are some nice group dances as well, and a broad selection of upcoming dancers, supported by long revered singers and guitarists. This combined with the good service and decent food make this one of the best places to watch flamenco in Seville. It should be noted, however, that the large size of this venue can make the dances not very personable, this is the main reason why it’s not higher up on the list.
9 – El Arenal
Calle Rodo 7
Good food, attentive service, passionate dancing. A perfect combination, right!? Next to the bull ring, this centrally located bar will give you all of that without having to walk too far! The show hear ranges from sultry to dramatic to sensual to heartbreaking. This spellbinding show deserves its place in our countdown of the best places to watch flamenco in Seville. The only downside here, is that the performers can sometimes feel a little far away.
8 – Museo Del Baile Flamenco
Calle Manuel Rojas Marcos 3
Unlike many of the others on our list, this is not a bar, but an unconventional museum. Not only does this make it a unique tablao setting for shows, but also the perfect place to come to learn more about the art form. Museo del Baile Flamenco is one of most famous flamenco places in Seville, and as such draws quite large crowds. But the emotionally moving and visually stunning show feels no less intimate. This is without doubt one of the best places to watch flamenco in Seville.
7 – Casa de la Guitarra
Calle Meson del Moro 12
This is another show held away from the traditional bar, this time in a small theatre. What this loses in authenticity it makes up for in intimacy as the dancers have everyone’s full attention. There is no background noise because everyone has come purely to see the flamenco. This concentration and intimacy make Casa de la Guitarra one of the best places to watch flamenco in Seville.
6 – La Carboneria
Calle Cespedes 21
This is the real deal. A hot, crowded bar with three shows a night. The entrance is free, you simply buy a drink and take a seat at the long tables. The roar of conversation is quashed by venerate silence as the dancing starts and all eyes turn to that corner of the room. Very few places can offer this level of authenticity. Although it is far from the most comfortable settings to watch flamenco, this place is nevertheless one of the best places to watch flamenco in Seville because of its passionate atmosphere and dedication to authenticity.
5 – Los Gallos
Plaza Santa Cruz
There can be few better settings than this! Hidden in a building off of Plaza Santa Cruz, serenity will overcome you as you walk across one of the most tranquil plazas in the city before enteing the building for the intimate show. The friendly staff are happy to answer any questions you have and the small venue makes duende almost tangible. This is most definitely one of the best places to watch flamenco in Seville.
4 – Casa de la Memoria
Calle Cuna 6
This is a medium sized venue, but still one of the larger ones on our list. The larger the venue the harder it is to create an intimate atmosphere, but Casa de la Memoria manage to put on soul touching performances every night. Their passion will overcome you during what is considered, among the flamenco artists themselves, the best nightly show in the city. It therefore deserves its lofty seat as on of the best places to watch flamenco in Seville.
3 – Mantoncillo (Usually Thurs-Sun)
Calle Betis 29
Triana is the old gypsy neighbourhood of Seville, meaning that if flamenco really was born in Seville it was more than likely born across the river in Triana. For this reason, we believe Triana to be the best place to go to experience the traditional improvised flamenco. Sometimes there’s no full on show, just flamenco aficionados, spending their night out sharing flamenco. Not necessarily any dancing. Just singer and guitarist, and lots of people sharing two or three simple flamenco moves while having a drink. Nothing is more authentic than this quaint little bar. Although they don’t have shows everyday, when they do it’s fantastic. A small bar centered around the performers. This is without doubt one of the best places to experience party-style flamenco in Seville.
2 – Casa de Flamenco
Calle Ximénez de Enciso 28
Flamenco at its best is a truly captivating art form, the rhythm of the feet pounding like pneumatic drills is almost hypnotic as the graceful upper body entrances you. This is what you’ll experience in Casa de Flamenco as you listen to the singer’s voice cracking with sadness at the thought of their downtrodden life. The melody flies in perfect harmony with guitar so soulful it could make you cry. A performance at Casa de Flamenco has it all, quite possibly the best every day show in all of the city, certainly worthy of its place in our countdown of the best places to watch flamenco in Seville.
1 – T de Triana (Esencia)
Calle Betis 20
At our number one is a beautiful bar with views across the river. T de Triana plays host to Esencia dance troop, our favourite dancers in the city! The reason we put this at the top of our best places to watch flamenco in Seville is for one simple reason: it’s the only place we know in the whole city where the dancers will take you on a tapas tour!! Kati or Maria will meet you beforehand and explain all about Triana, tapas, and flamenco as they take you to some of their favourite bars, and really be host to their guests, sharing
flamenco with you as if you were in their own family. All of this before heading to T de Triana where they will dance for you in one of the most intimate settings in the whole city. They really take pride in being the smallest venue in Seville. Despite being small, they offer the same high class artistry as Casa de la Memoria or Casa del Flamenco. It really is a one of a kind experience. If it sounds like something you’d enjoy, then head to our website and we’ll delight in helping you organise it.
Seville is the heartland of flamenco and as such is the best place to see it in all of Spain! We hope that this countdown has given you some ideas of where to check it out and what kinds of shows are available. If you’re in search of something a bit more hands on, then we’ve got you covered! Why not come and join our Flamenco Dance Lesson and learn how to move like that for yourself? Or, if, like yours truly, you feel you lack the coordination to make a success of trying to dance, join our Flamenco Box Lesson to learn the art of flamenco percussion, the cornerstone from which the music and dancing are built on.

Hello Mausa,
I’m visiting Seville with 4 friends today. I saw one of your replies where you mentioned this –
“Flamenco and tapas evening, that is one of the most favorite experiences of many travellers as it takes place in Triana which was the flamenco neighborhood in Seville, the tour is hosted by a flamenco dancer and not only you enjoy an intimate flamenco show but you also have a walk in Triana and visit 3 authentic taverns to enjoy some traditional food and beverages. Usually, there is time to visit the famous Triana Market too”
Can you please recommend a good authentic option for a flamenco tour followed by a show with Tapas and tavern visit? It’s ok if there’s no such option available this evening. We would like to primarily see a good authentic, non-touristy flamenco performance, please.
Hi Masha,
My wife and I are visiting Seville for the first time and would like to visit an authentic intimate flamenco show, preferrable where we can also eat something, although we can also do that seperately. Which pkace can you recommend for Dec 30th?
Thanks!
Eric
Hi Erik,
On the 30th Dec there are few bigger venues that offer food packages. I usually don’t recommend them as imho the experience is more touristy and with less soul. Other than that, you can either visit a show and have dinner before and after or what I really love and consider unique in Seville is joining a Flamenco and Tapas evening, you will be hosted by a flamenco dancer, visit a small and intimate show and enjoy authentic food in local taverns. It costs 105 euros pp and includes 2-3 taverns, the show, 3 tapas per person and 3 drinks. A great option to enjoy Seville a la sevillana and surrounded by the locals too.
Let me know if you like the idea and I can help you book it. Otherwise, I can also book you for a show or pass you some names to book it yourself.
Have a great holiday time!
Morning Mahsa, me and my wife travelling to Seville in February, initially booked with Headout bookings but post reading reviews cancelled. Appreciate if you could recommend a flamenco with just a drinks, Regards
Hi Hanif,
Thanks for getting in touch. Could you let me know your dates please and I will check for you? There are many shows and mostly they are nice. Of course, there are some venues and dates that are much better than the others. Not every venue offers food or even drinks. The best option imho is to join a Flamenco Show and Tapas evening that is hosted by a flamenco dancer. This combines the best of the 2 worlds- great food and local drinks with a quality show being able to see behind the scenes, learn about Flamenco and meet the local artists too which is hard even for us as the locals. Let me know what you prefer and I would be happy to help.
Muchas gracias y happy holidays!
Hello,
I will be in Seville with my family in from Nov 24-26. There are 7 of us including 3 children (8,6,&2 years old). Which flamenco show would you recommend for our group? Thanks
Hi Tamara,
Many venues don’t allow little kids or babies. In Seville there are some commercial venues which are very good but made for tourists, some touristy ones and a few small ones that are more authentic. Depending on what you look for there can be a different venue. Personally, I’d prefer the small venues that are more authentic but we have to check their program to see who is performing. I can book you for a small venue in Triana across the bridge. Their show time is around 8-8.30pm. It is about 45-60 min and the price is 35 euros for adults, free for the 2 yo and 17 for the kids under 9. Let me know if you like the idea and I can check their program for the best date. The advantage of the small venues is that you can meet the artists and that makes it a much more inclusive experience.
If you like more interaction and a fun family time you can also book a flamenco dance workshop. It is usually one hour and you learn nice choreography. Kids and adults love it and have a lot of fun. It really does not need you to be a dancer as it is for beginners and thought as a fun experience. Ideally before the show and this way you will understand the flamenco show much more.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Hello! My family of 5 (15, 12, 10 year old kids) would love to take in a Flamenco show when we are in Seville. We are hoping for something Dec 16, 20 or 21st. Any suggestions for us?
Hi Kayce,
Sure! There are many flamenco venues in Seville that you can choose from. Usually, I prefer the smaller ones that are less formal. I don’t recommend at all the huge touristy ones where they offer food. Let me know what your preferences are and I can check and book it for you. The prices are between 25-75 euros.
If you’d like to have a full on Seville experience you can also opt for 2 family friendly experiences:
A: Flamenco dance or drum workshop. That is an hour workshop where you learn choreography and it is very fun and interactive for the families. Doing that before the show is a GREAT way to get more out of the show and tap into the flamenco world. No need to have any dancing skills.
B: Flamenco and tapas evening, that is one of the most favorite experiences of many travellers as it takes place in Triana which was the flamenco neighborhood in Seville, the tour is hosted by a flamenco dancer and not only you enjoy an intimate flamenco show but you also have a walk in Triana and visit 3 authentic taverns to enjoy some traditional food and beverages. Usually, there is time to visit the famous Triana Market too.
I hope this gives you some ideas. Let me know what you prefer.
Gracias!
Is there anywhere in Seville to watch Fandango dancing with castanets?
We are spending 5 nights in Seville on 5-10 Feb and would like to take in 2 intimate Flamenco shows with some authentic food to have with it . We have booked nothing yet for the week so we are available on any of the days .
Hi James,
Thanks for getting in touch with us. I am Mahsa. Sure! There are only a few options for an intimate show with food and drinks in the traditional way and not the touristy mass tour that is widely sold. I’d suggest you book our flamenco and taps evening for the 8th or 9th as the program is good. You can book it here: https://notjustatourist.com/tours/seville-tapas-flamenco-night/. It is an intimate show and the cherry on the top is that you will be hosted by a flamenco artist and see behind the scenes.
Let me know if you have any questions.
See you soon!
Where’s best for old school authentic flamenco with some explanation about origins and traditions. With close proximity to performers, rather than far distant staging. Drinks and food optional. For two—one long-time flamenco lover and one newbie— during September 2024 on much anticipated first-time (and probably once in lifetimes trip to Spain) Seville journey on way to or from Barcelona. Thank you so much. Warren
Hi Spencer,
There are many venues and they change their program a lot each week. So, you really have to check their weekly program. For now, I like a few flamenco venues in Triana area but also it depends on the day. There is a show that two flamenco dancers organize and they do the show in different venues in Triana. They are great, intimate, explain, and take care of people. You can just attend the show or even better book a full flamenco experience with them including a walk in Triana, a visit to 2-3 tapas bars, tapas and drinks that are traditional and the show of course. Let me know if you know your potential dates and which option you prefer and I will ask them.
Thank you!
Dear Mahsa, My husn=band and I will be traveling to Seville on Dec 31 and would love to celebrate with a flamenco show. My 75 yr old mother and 12 year old nephew will be with us too. I was thinking of a smaller , more intimate venue that possible also serves food, but if not, we can go and have dinner before or after the show. What do you think?
Hi Olga,
There is a small venue in Triana that offers a show on 31st Dec at 7.30pm. It costs 39 euros pp and includes a drink. You can also order some tapas there if you wish. They don’t have a big selection but decent options. On the 31st Dec many restaurants are open only with a booking and many other tapas bars don’t accept bookings. Just for you to have it in mind for your NYE’s dinner plans.
Let me know if you wish me to book it for you.
Thank you!
Mahsa
Hi Mahsa,
We are travelling to Seville from Thursday to Tuesday this week, we will be with our 15-month daughter. Do you think we can go enjoy flamenco? if so do you have any recommendation on places that are baby-friendly? Gracias!
Hi Celine,
Most venues don’t allow babies or very young kids but there might be one very nice venue that might allow that. They don’t have every day a show though. I can ask them. The price is per adults 35 euros and bookings need to be made done previously as they are small and can get booked out. Let me know if all the dates are fine for you and I will check and make the booking for you.
Thanks a lot!
Hello!
We have a baby on 8 months and a daughter on 4 years. We would like to go to an early flamenco show. We are in Seville right now and leave tuesday the 17th of october. Can you recommend a place for us?
Best regards
Camilla
Hi Camilla,
there are not many places in Seville that allow kids and babies but I checked and there is a small venue in Triana that has a show and it is a great place as both tourists and locals go there. It costs 35 euros per adult and 12 euros for the 4-year-old one. You need to prebook. I can book it and send you a payment link if you wish.
Let me know if you’d like the idea.
Thank you!
Hi, I am interested in this show as I would like to see some flamenco with my husband and five year old next week. Could you please let me know where this is? We are staying in Triana and will happily do an evening show
Hi Penelope,
Thanks for getting in touch. Some venues don’t allow small kids. Could you please let me know your exact dates and I will check and book for you? The more availability you have the better as the program changes every day. This way we can choose the best day and venue
.
Thank you!
Hi, what show do you recommend for 24th of August, not very pricey but good quality? We have 2 girls of 6 years old that love dancing. Thank you
Hi Manuela,
Thanks a lot for getting in touch. There are many venues in Seville and it depends on what you prefer. I usually suggest small and intimate venues that are not very touristy. Also, if your girls like dancing I’d suggest joining our flamenco dance workshop prior to the show. That could be one of BEST activities they could do and you could join it too as it makes for a nice and interactive family activity. There are 2 nice flamenco shows in Triana on 24th starting around 7 and 8.30pm and I can book it for you. It costs 30 euros pp and includes a drink and the flamenco lesson can be also booked at https://notjustatourist.com/tours/seville-flamenco-dance-lesson/.
Let me know if you need anything else. Seville has a lot of things to keep kids busy and happy.
Have a great time!
Mahsa
Dear Mahsa,
We will visit Sevilla mid October and wouLd like to see a Trulli authentic flamenco show at a small venue. What can you recommend ?
Hi Petri,
There are many flamenco venues in Seville and it is hard to choose. Could you tell me your exact dates and what kind of show you like and I can guide you better? They are big venues, some even with dinner during the show, very small and more local ones, more classic ones and in different areas. Also, a very good idea would be to do a flamenco and tapas evening. You will be hosted by a high quality flamenco dancer and might even join her show in that evening. You will learn much more and also meet the artists, the locations they tend to go for a drink and you can mingle with the locals and artists and enjoy authentnic and non touristy food and ambiance.
Let me know.
Muchas gracias!
We will b in Seville 29th May evening and 30th May- when can we go for Flamenco?
Hi Singh,
Thanks for reaching out. There are many flamenco venues in Seville and they are mostly very nice. However, I usually recommend the smaller venues to have a more authentic experience. For instance, there are 2 venues in Triana which is across the river and their shows starts around 8, 9.30pm. The price can also differ a bit. Let me know how many people you are and I will check for you.
Thanks!
Mahsa
Hi Mahsa,
We are going to Seville today and would like to go to an authentic flamenco show. We like your comments. Is it possible to get tickets from you for any of the good venues in Triana today?
Hi Peter,
In summer there are fewer shows available as most people go to the beach or on vacation but today in Triana there is a nice show at 7pm. The price is 30 euros pp. I can book it for you. Let me know how many people you are.
Thanks!
We are 5 families (14 in total) travelling to Seville from Aug 27 till Aug 31. Our kids are ranging from age 15 to 23. We are staying at Melia South and would like to attend one of Flamenco show on Aug 27. Please can you recommend one for us near to our hotel with smaller setting.
Hi Sudeep,
There are many flamenco venues in Seville with different focus and setting. I am not sure exactly where your hotel is but Seville has a relatively small and walkable old town so you can get anywhere quite easily or you can take a few cabs too. I like the venues in Triana on the other side of the river. There are a few of them and you can check to see what suites your preferences better. I can also book you in one if you wish making sure you meet the artists, owner, etc. Let me know.
Thanks!
Mahsa
Hi, would it be possible to book a show in any of the places listed in this article for 5 people on November? Or is it too soon? We are planning a trip to Spain and will be stopping in Sevilla for a day, we’d like to start planning the trip ahead of time.
Hi Danna,
Sure! You can book your flamenco show now. Jsut let me know your dates please so I can check for you. The shows usually start around 7-9pm and cost generally around 25- 60 euros. I usually recommend the less touristy and smaller venues for a better experience. Let me know which type of flamenco you prefer your dates and I will book you for that type of show.
Thanks a lot!
Mahsa
Where can I see flamenco on Thursday 6th April or Friday 7th in the evening, the one I booked has just cancelled due to Holy Week
Hi Janine,
Easter week is indeed difficult for flamenco activities as the city is very crowded and collapsed. I can book you for the 6th April in a nice venue in Triana. It costs 35 euros pp and the time slot is after 7pm. The show is usually 45-60 min.
Let me know if you would like to go ahead and I will send you a payment link (+4.5% cc fee). The availability is very limited so it is best to book asap.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Hello!
Great blog and thanks for the sharing the Flamenco scenes of Seville!
My wife and I (early 30s, no kids) would be in Seville from Dec25th to Dec 27th 2022. (We then head to Granada on 28th Dec). It would be super helpful if you could provide us with some Flamenco show options during these dates (and in the evening). All the options looks great, but we are confused between Casa de la Memoria, Los Gallos, La Carboneria and not sure if they all would be open during Xmas week!
Also, we would be visiting Granada and don’t want to have the same style/experience of Flamenco at both the places!
Gracias,
Umang
Hi Umang,
Thanks for getting in touch. Flamenco has many different styles and if you enjoy the music you can attend different places and they will never be the same. Carboneria is a fun place but not a typical classic show. Memoria has always good quality shows. Gallos is a classic place and one of the oldest “tablaos” in Spain. So whatever you choose will be fine. However, they are all in Santa Cruz which is a touristy area. For the good and for the bad. I usually go to the Triana area and this flamenco venue (Esencia) is one of my favorites in terms of price, quality and local vibes.
In Granada try to visit one of the flamenco caves in Sacramonte as they are different. If you need help with the booking or wish to make it a full evening with a tapas walk going to some local bars and being accompanied by a flamenco artist, meet the artists and get more of the flamenco vibes you can also join our flamenco and tapas evening.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Muchas gracias!
We’re arriving in Seville tonight.
We need to schedule flamenco/Tapas tour for evening.
Hi Vinit,
I might be able to arrange the flamenco evening and tapas tour for tomorrow evening as it is quite late for tonight. Does tha work for you?
Thanks!
Hi, We will be in Seville on August 13th till 17th. Can you recommend a show for family of 4 with 2 children (14 and 8 year old)
Hi Lana,
Most flamenco shows are fine for kids too as children enjoy the dance and the spectacle but that is true that if they are smaller venues and less of a classic setting it can be more fun for them. Let me check the flamenco program for your dates and get back to you shortly as August is also the vacation month and not all places are open.
Gracias!
Mahsa
Hi there,
I am also travelling to Sevilla and will unfortunately only be spending one day there – can you please advise which walking tour includes tapas and a flamenco show?
Thank you! M
Hi Kala,
You can book it directly here. It is in Triana neighborhood.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks a lot!
Mahsa
A group of 3 will be in Sevilla in October and looking to experience theT de Tirana walking tour. Can you confirm what is included? Does it include the Flamenco show or do we have to buy tickets for that separately?
Hi Mark,
We have a few tours that include Triana. The Triana Tapas Tour takes you to the Triana Market and 4 different tapas bars in the area, the Panoramic Walking Tour that is aimed to be Seville in a nutshell and give you an insight into the most important part of Seville’s Old Town and the Flamenco Show and Tapas Evening that takes places in Triana and takes you around Triana and end up in an intimate high quality flamenco show. You can book all these experiences on our website and the show is of course included in the price too.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Mahsa
Hi Mahsa,
My wife and I will be in Sevilla on August 22 & 23, can you please suggest some good Flamenco shows with good tapas/food? We do not mind small or large gathering. This will be our first time experience.
Thank you,
Rutvik
Hi Rutvik,
I am sure you would love your tapas and flamenco experience in Seville. In my opinion, this is one of the best experiences travelers should try in Seville as it is about history, great food, nice drinks, meeting locals and of course an amazing flamenco show. Let me send you more information shortly.
Thank you!
In seville till the 2nd can you recommend a show to catch ?
Hi Anna,
Sure! There are many great shows in the town each day. I recommend this venue a lot as they have an exciting changing band and explain very well too. Once you book there you will receive a manual confirmation with the exact time of the show.
Have a great time in Seville!
Hello,
I’m actually a guitar player and love flamenco. I will be in Sevilla on the 3rd July 2022. Wondering if you know is any tapas restaurant (not touristy) where guitarists play. I am less interested on the dance (although I also dance salsa), but more on the guitar playing. Cheers ! Kam
Hi Kamal,
Thanks for getting in touch. Usually, in flamenco venues they play guitar but there is also dancing. Otherwise, you might find some bars across the city where somebody might be playing guitar spontaneously but I don’t know of any restaurant with live music. Triana and C/Betis are a good place to look after 10-11pm.
Hope you enjoy Seville!
Hello, we are a family of 7 traveling to Seville the 28-31 May. We are looking to make a booking with flamingo and tapas and not in a touristy place. Thank you!
Hi Tracey,
Thanks for getting in touch. We don’t arrange anything that is touristy and low quality. You will be with professional dancers and meet local people. The 29th of May could be a great day for a flamenco evening and tapas as also the locals go out and you see more ambiance. I will send you more informatin with the link to book.
See you in Seville!
Hi, We will be in Seville on April 13th and 14th. Can you recommend a show for family of 4 with 2 teens (16 and 13 year old)
Hello Magda,
I am travelling to Seville 13-16th april during semana santa with my husband and we would like to see some flamenco in a small non-touristy venue – possibly a bar so we can have drink. We aren’t sure where would be best during the Holy Week? Do you have any recommendations?
Best wishes,
Mary
Hola Mahsa,
So glad that I found your page. My partner and I will be in Seville for Holy Week. We would like to see some good flamenco on the night of Saturday 16 or Monday 18 April. Can you please recommend some places. It would be great if they take reservations although that is probably not true of the smaller, more authentic ones. Thanks for you help.
Hi,
We are six friends travelling to Spain and will be in Seville on 2, 3, 4 May. We’d like to see Flamenco. Do you have any specific recommendations for those dates?
Hello Mahsa,
We are four friends travelling to Spain and will be in Seville on 29, 30 and 31 March. We’d like to see Flamenco in a small venue, preferably in Tirana. Do you have any specific recommendations for those dates?
Many thanks
Fanny
Hi Fanny,
Sure! There are some great artists programmed for some of your dates in Triana. I have sent you an email with more details. Please check your spam folder too.
Thank you!
Mahsa
Hi Magda
Can you share the list with me? We are in Tirana now for the next week and would love to experience this. Much as Gracias
Hi Chris,
Thanks for getting in touch. Which list do you refer to? There is no list of flamenco programs. Each venue works with different artists each day. However, I usually work with and recommend a few smaller ones or very high category ones. Let me know what you need.
Thanks!
Saludos!
I’ll be in Sevilla from April 15-April 18 (early morning). Do you have any special suggestions for an intimate dinner and show for the 15 or 16 (ideally the 16)? Thank you in advance!!
-Gaby
Hi Mahsa,
My wife and I are visiting Seville from March 20 (morning) until March 23 (morning). We would love to attend a flamenco show in a smaller (non-touristy) venue. Do you have any recommendations for us?
Thanks for your help!
Hi Tyler,
I like one venue with which I work a lot in Triana and another one which is quite new in Santa Cruz. I have just asked them about their programs for your dates and will let you know over email. Please keep an eye on your spam folder too. 🙂
Gracias!
Thank you! I haven’t seen any responses yet, but will continue to check. I really appreciate your help!
Hi Tyler,
Have you received my emails? Maybe you need to check your spam folder. Let me know. Thanks a lot!
Hiya,
I’m looking for an authentic flamenco show with tapas/dinner for me and my partner to celebrate his birthday on Thurs 3rd March in Seville, do you have any recommendations at all?
Many thanks,
Hannah
Hi Hannah,
This is a GREAT idea to celebrate his birthday this way and be in the right mood for such an occasion. I think the best option would be to join a Flamenco and Tapas Evening. It includes an intimate show but also it makes for a fun evening trying different tapas and enjoying the very special ambiance that the neighborhood has got and mingling with the cheerful locals. There are some venues with set dinner which I don’t recommend at all as they are big and for tourists. In some other venues, you can order food and it is perfectly fine too. However, the best option would be to experience the whole thing, go with the artist on a tapas tour, visit her favorite places, meet her friends and then watch the show. She will guide you through different foods and drinks and explain a bit about flamenco culture too.
Gracias!
Hello,
Me and my wife are visiting Seville next week. And we were wondering if you could give us some recommendation on Flamenco show? We are interested in just a show and drinks.
Thanks,
Vinay
Hi Vinay,
Thanks for getting in touch. Could you tell me your dates please as there are different venues and with different programs and artists each day? Usually, I recommend small venues where you actually get the chance to sit close to the artists and even talk to them and there you have the possibility to order tapas and drinks too if you wish or just enjoy the show. They show costs around 25 euros.
Let me know. Thanks!
Hola. Can you recommend a similar place for my wife and myself. We are in Seville tonight, Mar. 18?
Hi, I will be in Seville 5-7/03 with 3 friends. We would like to see a typical flamenco show. Can you recommend us something for that weekend. Thank you. Dana
Hi Dana,
Sure! You can choose between more classic shows and more casual ones. I would not recommend any touristy shows with big buses parked outside and which serve food. They are ok but very soulless. Let me pass you some more information by email.
Is the T de Triana the same thing as the Triana Flamenco theatre? I want to make sure I’m getting tickets at the right place.
Thanks – Stacey
Hi Stacey,
No. They are 2 different venues. T de Triana does not exist anymore and has been taken by another venue. Let me know what exactly you are looking for and I might be able to help you.
Gracias!

I’m in Seville looking for a flamenco show that is typically Spanish in a bar maybe with tapas. We are here until Tuesday. What would you recommend?
Hola Debbie,
For tomorrow, I can book for you one small flamenco venue either in Triana or in Santa Cruz and for Monday in Triana. They start around 8pm and you can order some authentic tapas there too.
Gracias!
Hi,
I am here in Seville today with my husband. Where can I watch an authentic flamenco shows in a small setup rather than a huge one. Can you please me with this.
Hi Pallavi,
Sure! I just wrote to you about a nice flamenco show in Triana which has spots available today and tomorrow.
Hi Mahsa,
We’ll be in Sevilla on Sunday, 20 February, looking for an intimate flamenco experience. Could you recommend something in particular?
Thanks!
Hola Mike,
Thanks for getting in touch. I just sent you a more extensive email about flamenco in Seville. Hope it helps.
Gracias!
Hi, just wondering what evenings of the week Flamenco is available please. We are planning a few days at the end of April 2023. Thanks.
Hi! I will be traveling to Sevilla from 12/26-12/29. It will be 3 adults and a 4 year old. We would love to see a show that is more intimate but also ok for. 4 year old. What would you recommend?
Hi Alex,
There are many different flamenco venues and some quite high quality ones in Seville. I usually recommend an activity that includes a tapas tour in Triana area with a flamenco dancer and than joining her own tour in a very authentic venue. Of course, you can also only join the show and there is no problem with the little one. Let me check their availability and send you more info shortly.
Gracias!
Hi:
Which one will you recommend for younger crowds? Thanks for the advice.
Hi Angelique,
Thanks for getting in touch with us. The flamenco shows in Seville are very different and can also vary from day to day. What we usually do that we check the programs of each venue and see which artists are playing and then book the right show. Generally, I prefer smaller and intimate shows rather than a big and more elaborated and touristy spectacle. Teatro de Triana, Flamenco Essencia and a few other venus in Triana are great and small scale. But again it is best to check before with them or with us to have a non-touristy and authentic experience.
We also have a very nice tapas tour combined with a flamenco show which is hosted by flamenco artists and gives you a great insight into their life, work, art, and music. They can also set up a short but fun flamenco dance or drum lesson before the show.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Gracias!
Hello Mahsa,
My family will be visiting December 21st and would love a intimate dinner with great food, show and possibly get to dance with the dancers? Please can you suggest some options? Thank you, Joleen
Good morning Joleen,
Sure! I can arrange an authentic experience for you. There are 2 options: one option is going to VERY big and touristy venues with set dinners which I don’t recommend as there are designed for mass tourism. The second option is a small venue where you can order food a la carte and meet the artists. Dancing is not possible since it is a show but if you wish you meet the dancers or take dance lessons with them as a fun family activity before the show it is perfectly possible. Let me know if you need any more information.
Gracias!
Hi, just wondering what evenings of the week Flamenco is available please. We are planning a few days at the end of April 2023. Thanks.
Hi Narelle,
There is a flamenco show every day in Seville. However, the program and quality can change depending on the day and also on the venue. If you let me know your exact dates I can check it and help you to choose the best nontouristy program.
Thanks!
Hi,
I will go to Sevilla with my husband and 10 years old son on July. I always have loved flamenco. I would like a recommendation about a place to go with my family, and maybe dance with the dancers group, eat and have fun. Thank you!!
Hi Ivonne,
Thanks for getting in touch. I just sent you an email with all the information with more classic places as well as options for different activities related to flamenco. Let me know if you need more information.
Gracias!
I am not sure if this feed is still open.
I will be in Seville late September, early October 2020. I believe it is the Flamenco Festival there then.
How do I find out the best shows to go to and can I book now for them?
I particularly loved the Museo show I saw last year and was knocked out by the male dancers but would like to try somewhere different this trip.
Thanks
Hi we are coming to Seville early Oct as a family celebration trip . There are 8 of us all adults. We would like to see a flamenco show are enjoy taps and drinks but do not want a tour please can you recommend some places.
Hi Satinder,
That is great that you have chosen Seville as your family reunion trip. Oct is usually quite mild and nice to be in Seville. Sometimes the city smells of orange blossoms and Jasmin too. 🙂
There are many nice flamenco venues in the town and tapas bars. However, I would strongly recommend to book a tour. The reason? It is like going to a National park famous for its bird species. If you go by yourself yo might not see any birds and not notice any difference or learn anything. However if you are with an expert they will show you all the hidden secrets and it brings your day to life. The same thing is with a tapas or flamenco show tour. If you go to a nice tapas bar and order you might get some food but you will miss the best dishes of each bar, the story behind those recipes, all the cultural components. I believe cuisine is a very important part of our culture and it requires some guidance for travellers to be able to enjoy it more. We know exactly what to order in each place, what time to go, what to order and how to combine it with the right drink or food. This cannot be explained but you have to try it. :).
Let me know if this sounds good to you and I would send you happily a quote to make this evening a memorable night. If not, I would be happy to recommend some tapas bars and venues and invite you to check our blogs that reveal a lot of nice places.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Do you know of anyone that would be willing to give a flamenco guitar lesson? it’s my husband’s dream to have a traditional lesson.
Hi Courtney,
Sure! We are in the land of flamenco. :). The only thing is that many guitar players don’t speak much English to be able to give a flamenco guitar lesson in English. But I am asking the dancers and artists we work with and I know and will let you know about the flamenco guitar options. Dreams are sacred! 😉
Mahsa
Hi,
We will be in Seville at the end of June and are travelling with our 3 year old son, what place do you recommend that we should attend? Do we need to reserve in advance?
Thanks!
Francesca
Hi Francesa,
Most flamenco venues in Seville don’t allow smaller kids. Some do and in this case, the only condition is that if the kid is loud or cries one of the adults has to accompany it outside. I prefer small venues to the big ones and don’t recommend any place where you can eat and drink during the show! This is a no go. 🙂
A good place is T de Triana but they start at 9.30pm. Let me know if you need more information and if you would like me to help you to book. What is also very interesting is to book a flamenco dance lesson beforehand as kids and adults alike love it or combine it with a tapas and flamenco show since our guides are all flamenco experts, dancers or singers so that you have another perspective.
I hope this helps.
Mahsa
Hi,
We will be in Seville next week for family vacations and we would love to go to a flamenco show. Any suggestions for a family with 2 little girls (one and three years old)?
Hi Peggy,
That is a great idea as Seville is a great place to watch a first-class flamenco show. Some flamenco venues don’t allow children. Some do but if they cry to make noise they have to leave to the room. You can check different places such as Baraka, Cafe flamenco (that is my favorite right now), T de Triana where we offer also a tour guided by the flamenco dancer and a tapas evening. Museo de Flamenco is nice too. If you wish to combine your flamenco show with a fun and interactive flamenco dance lesson or drum workshop that makes it much more rewarding even for the kids. In this case, let me know.
Hope you have a great time!
Mahsa
We are visiting the next few days, one of our main goals here is to watching a good flamenco show. We have a 3 yr-old with us, can you recommend a venue that might work better for small children?
We are visiting end of July. I would like my daughters (13-15) to participate and immerse into the experience. They like dancing. Any suggestion of Flamenco show for us?
Hola Mohsen,
Thanks for getting in touch with us. Sure! Our aim is to connect you with best places to enjoy real flamenco and immerse yourself in the culture. We could arrange a flamenco dance lesson or even a flamenco drum lesson for your girls or for the entire family (it is really fun) and also recommend flamenco venues depending on your dates or book it for you. I will send you more information shortly.
Gracias!
Mahsa
HI
We are visiting Seville with friends at the end of May 2019, we would like to see an authentic Flamenco (not really a touristy one), preferably with a bar. Could you recommend one please
Hi Avis,
Thanks for getting in touch. Sure! 🙂
Seville has got plenty of flamenco show for all types of interests. Personally, what I like are the smaller and less spectacular shows where you can experience a more original feel of flamenco.
To start with you can check out different peña de flamenco that is a club where you can watch flamenco and eat too.
If you aim for a show then I would suggest T de Triana, it takes place in a bar as it used to be, they are half gypsy and the show is small, nice and very educative as they explain a lot. Casa la Teatro is a very nice and small venue too. However, the quality of the show can really depend on who is performing that night. 😉 These are in Triana.
If you wish to have the first-hand experience I would suggest joining our flamenco show and tapas. The reason? You will be with a flamenco dancer, have some of the best tapas in the town and chat with an expert about this very underground scene. That is total immersion!
Also, they are more classical venues such as Teatro la Triana, Casa de Flamenco, Casa la memoria, Auditorio…
Let me know if you need more information.
Enjoy Seville!
Mahsa
Hi, what is a good place in Seville to see classic flamenco on 29th of May 2019?
Thank you in advance
Hi Innes,
There are many many places to watch a nice flamenco show. For small flamenco venues I would suggest Casa la Teatro and T de Triana. For larger ones Casa de Flamenco and Casa de flamenco. Auditorio is a nice show too. If you like flamenco and would like to understand more you can also join our flamenco show and tapas tour that is a guided by a first-class flamenco artist and combines great food with a nice show and a lot of insider tips.
Enjoy!
Mahsa
Hi, what is a good place in Seville to see intimate authentic dance and flamingo guitar please on 13th or 14th May 2019?
Hi Peggy,
Thanks for reaching out. There are many flamenco venues in Seville. Mostly are bigger ones which also can be of high quality too. If you look for a small place and authentic I would suggest T de Triana as they also explain a bit about flamenco. Casa La Teatro is also a nice location and a charming interior. If you need help with the booking let me know.
Enjoy the evening filled with music! 🙂
Mahsa
Hi,
I’m travelling to Seville mid-July with my 2 kids, 11 and 13. Do you have any recommendation for us? My 11 years old love dancing but the 13 years old boy is not a fan.
Thanks,
Marvin
Hi Marvin,
Of course! You can join the flamenco dance workshop and your older kid can just watch or he or she can do a flamenco drum lesson instead. We also have some kayaking, standup paddle or horse riding that kids tend to love. I will send you more options shortly.
Gracias!
Mahsa
Hi
Can you tell me if there are flamenco shows on May 5 in the evening?
Diane
Hi Diane,
Sure! There are many shows at many different times. Let me know if you have any special interests or prefer something classic, intimate, gypsy etc.?
We also have very nice flamenco show and tapas evening where you can visit some authentic bars with a flamenco dancer as your guide and even attend her own show which is the most intimate flamenco show in Seville right now.
Have a great stay!
