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.

Shows alive. Probably the best flamenco tablao in Madrid, nothing fancy about the rugged tablao of Cardamomo, the best undergournd flamenco shows that are to be found in Madrid, a must see attraction, dinner is optional. Flamenco time is the best time. At the Cardamomo Flamenco tablao, masters of the Spanish guitar and percussion, renowned flamenco singers and flamenco dancers give their body and soul to the audience in a unique live show. • Dinner is served 45 minutes before the show. • 100% of tickets offer optimal viewing and acoustics of stage performances.
Me and my family loved the show, it was amazing to see a part of spains culture expressed through dancing in such a powerful and strongly beautiful way! I think Cardamomo is the right choice for everyone who is interested in flamenco, spanish culture and dancing in general and who want’s to spend a great evening with loved ones.

CAUTION: This review is going to be super detailed because all smart travellers struggle when it comes to choosing the right things to ensure they get the best experience possible for the amount of money they're investing. Okay. It was established that we had to go to a flamenco show while in Madrid. Needless to say, I spent hours upon hours searching and reading about the different shows and venues on offer. Blogs, TripAdvisor, GetYourGuide, more blogs- you name it, I probably went through it. It really was hard to decide, but if you get down a few things in mind, the process could get a bit less challenging. First, a real flamenco show should have all 4 elements of a real flamenco show: Cante (or voice), Baile (or dance), Toque (or guitar), and Jaleo (or clapping and stomping). Second, you have to prioritise other things in the experience (i.e. do I just go in for show? a show and drinks? a show and dinner?) That will significantly determine how much you will pay especially in reputable places like Corral de la Moreria. Third, you have to determine how long will you be willing to sit and watch a show. Most will specify the duration of the show online. I was between two venues, but I eventually went with Corral de la Moreria because it felt just right. It was the most expensive of all the ones I looked up (we paid €250 for 3 adults and 2 kids) for show and drinks only, but it was well-worth it. The show had all 4 components and was very balanced out. The performers spoke art and excellence and the show just came together to be wondrous- a real high class experience. It lasted for an hour which was just right for us. Some other venues had shows that could last up to 1 hour and 45 minutes and I felt that was too much for the kids even if a good show is pulled out at the end. Our experience here was lovely. We had an unforgettable night and it should come as no surprise. After all, this is (1) the oldest tablao in Madrid, (2) the place where renowned international artists performed for years, and (3) the place where celebrities come to flamenco shows. I had very high expectations and the folks here delivered and simply didn't disappoint. I would like to take this review as an opportunity to salute the waiters too. One of them graciously greeted us from the moment we exited our taxi, started small talk with my little sister and kept going until we were seated at our table. When I ordered an extra drink for grandpa and requested the bill later, they said keep it on the house. I found this small gesture very generous and it definitely made our day. Highly recommended.

La Cueva de Lola offers two 60 minutes daily shows (Tuesday to Sunday). In addition to the show, you can have drinks (great selection of wines and beers) and enjoy the local food choosing a tapas dinner and other Spanish delicatessen. Our mission is to offer you a first-class experience, and we have a young and talented team prepared to welcome you. We prioritize a top-tier show and service at a fair price. We live Flamenco. Come and live it with us.
Spectacular! My wife and I were looking for a new flamenco experience and we got the most special one -wasn't our first time in Madrid-. This one touched us and the whole experience was truly appealing. Impressive artists, beside the guitar player and the singer, who were exceptional, the dancers took everyone in the room out of their minds. Top level. Our best experience in a flamenco show in Madrid. The place is lovely and unique and the food also very good!! Truly recommendable.

Torres Bermejas, opened in 1960, is the most important and unique flamenco show in the world. Torres Bermejas is unique for its stunning room that reproduces inside the Bermejas towers of the Alhambra in Granada, with walls with Arabic motifs, tiles and wooden covered ceilings. When you come to the flamenco show, it is an unforgettable artistic experience.
I come here every year. This summer I visited Torres Bermejas twice. Location is great and it is surprising how excellent flamenco show can be in a touristic city center. This is a very traditional tablao and dancers are so energetic. Many flamenco shows have been disappointing but not Torres Bermejas, this is always my nr 1. in Madrid.
