So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

What happens when you put a Spanish and a Canadian comedian together on stage? An unforgettable night of comedy in English! And the best part? This show is for all levels of English proving that humor is indeed an international language. Live Story mixes stand up and sketch comedy with scenes revolving around like in Spain.
Great show Tricia and Fernando, they are amazing comedians and their materials are very genuine and authentic and you just love to watch their sketches to the end.

La Fragua is a tablao created by artists from lineage families. It has its roots in primordial flamenco, in the tradition without compromise. And it draws on the soul of the first songs that emerged in the forges of Cadiz, Jerez and Sevilla. Of the deep, tragic and passionate zapateados of the first dancers of Andalusia. Daily passes. Purebred flamenco in the heart of Madrid.

The only Flamenco Theatre of its kind in the world. For the first time ever, the magic of singing, dance and Flamenco guitar blended together on the stage of one of the most emblematic theatres of the world in the capital of Flamenco Madrid. In an intimate and welcoming atmosphere, the audience will experience close up the passion of a pure and authentic Flamenco style.
So firstly I have never been to a ‘proper’ flamenco show before as I’m sure the ones they perform in a Benidorm hotel don’t really count! Therefore I have nothing to compare it too. I loved it for the following reasons - it is a lovely small intimate theatre and when we arrived we were shown to our reserved VIP seating with an amazing view of the stage. Our ticket included a premium drink which was served accompanied by olives. The show was exactly an hour long which was long enough for a first timer. The show consisted of dance, singing and guitar playing. I have to say the guitarist was amazing and I could’ve listened to him for longer. There were just the right number of people there. The dancers were passionate about their dancing and put so much effort in that it left me in admiration of what they do. I would recommend the show to novices of flamenco to give a taste of what it’s like.
