Flamenco is much more than a passionate dance and exciting music. It is an art. A feeling difficult to describe in words. The best way to experience it is to see a flamenco show in an authentic tablao, letting yourself be carried away by the sound of the guitars and the clapping of the hands.
Barcelona is one of the great capitals of flamenco in Spain, along with Andalusia and Madrid. Immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere and enjoy the "duende" of this art declared Intangible Heritage of Humanity by Unesco!
Barcelona Flamenco Show Tickets at Tablao Cordobes
Live the passion for flamenco music and art!
This is the perfect option if you want to enjoy an authentic flamenco show in a historic tablao in Barcelona where the best artists of the genre perform. You can include a drink or dinner at the tablao if you select the option.
El Tablao Cordobés is the place to go if you want to know a genuine temple of flamenco where stars like Camarón de la Isla, Carmen Amaya, Tomatito, Bambino or Farruco have passed through.
Located on La Rambla in Barcelona, if there is one thing I like about this tablao is that the atmosphere is that of a great family flamenco party, where in addition to listening to good music you can also dine and spend a most pleasant evening.
It is not the typical product to attract tourists but the Tablao Cordobes is living history of the city and a true benchmark of flamenco culture in Barcelona. The only tablao that survives from the golden age of the Catalan tablaos. There must be a reason, right?
And since its origins, its commitment to flamenco is indisputable. They have always strived to bring to their audience the best artists of the genre, both flamenco legends and young promises.
In addition, the Tablao Cordobés, with its Nasrid-style décor, wicker chairs and cave-like vaulted architecture reminds me a lot of Sacromonte, a picturesque neighborhood in Granada where gypsies have lived since the 16th century and where there are also some fabulous flamenco tablaos famous for their magnificent parties.
Why I like this option... This is a historic venue in Barcelona where this genre is pampered as in the golden years of the flamenco tablaos and it shows. The artists leave their skin on stage and you can breathe pure talent. Highly recommended to live a unique night!
