Undoubtedly one of the icons of Spain, flamenco is a very popular dance in the country’s culture and a very interesting novelty for tourists who find themselves here for the first time.
Although flamenco originated in Andalusia, it has spread over the past years to every region of Spain and, even in Barcelona, although the Catalan identity is very much felt, there is no shortage of venues for dancing or simply admiring the expert dancers. Often flamenco venues in Barcelona also offer the possibility of dining and tasting typical local products, or a space for a glass of wine or a cocktail, for a truly complete and unforgettable evening.
Flamenco is both a style of dance and a traditional music; even if Barcelona is not exactly its home, for those who want to, there are various venues where you can listen to excellent music and try out a few steps: below we highlight the best ones in the city.
We have selected for you the best venues in Barcelona where you can enjoy a flamenco show. As flamenco venues are very popular with tourists and locals alike, it is advisable to book in advance by purchasing your entrance ticket online.
Right in the city centre, in Plaza Real, is Los Tarantos, one of the best known flamenco clubs in the city; back in October 1993 it opened its doors again after a renovation that connected it to the neighbouring venue, the Jamboree, one of the most famous jazz clubs in Barcelona. Emerging flamenco artists perform at Los Tarantos, and the shows are widely attended by the public, especially tourists.
Also in the city centre, on Las Ramblas, is another venue specialising in flamenco: Tablao Cordobes, active since 1970 and featuring the most diverse artists of this art, both living legends and young revelations. The décor of the venue, as well as the gastronomic offerings, create a suitable environment to take advantage of the magic of the show and of the most authentic flamenco, still uncontaminated by more commercial trends.
The City Hall Theatre is located in the heart of Barcelona, near Plaça de Catalunya. This space hosts a wide range of events, including concerts, theatre performances, musical performances, film screenings and more. The flamenco shows at the City Hall Theatre are probably the most popular with tourists in Barcelona.
The Tablao de Carmen, named after the famous flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya, one of the most famous flamenco dancers of the 20th century, is a famous flamenco venue located in Poble Espanyol, a picturesque Spanish open-air village that represents the architectural and cultural diversity of the different regions of Spain.
It is renowned for offering high-quality flamenco performances by talented dancers, singers and musicians. The venue has been designed to create an authentic and intimate atmosphere, recreating the experience of a traditional tablao, where audiences can enjoy the passion and energy of flamenco.
The Palau Dalmases building dates back to the 17th century and was built in the typical Catalan Baroque style. It is a place full of history and architectural charm and hosts flamenco performances in an intimate and authentic atmosphere. You can enjoy the fusion of artistic talent and flamenco passion in a historical setting.
The last of the flamenco venues in Barcelona is El Patio Andaluz, also a restaurant: it offers various possibilities to get to know the traditions within a setting very similar to a traditional Andalusian patio; you can enter just for the dance show or have a glass of wine, up to a full dinner, at more or less affordable prices.
Inside the Patio Andaluz is the Taberna del Patio, a space with a capacity of 150 people for the celebration of private events, attended over the years by the Spanish royal family, Oprah Winfrey, Dolce & Gabbana and many other celebrities and important personalities from all over the world.
The Palacio del Flamenco is located on Calle Balmes and offers 3 different programmes every day and a roster of around 20 artists including singers, dancers, guitarists and musicians revisiting different genres of flamenco. Each show lasts 60 minutes and there is room for different improvisations from day to day. The interior of the Palacio del Flamenco seats a maximum of 450 spectators, and next to the auditorium is a restaurant where you can sample typical local products.
