Flamenco in Seville
Flamenco shows in Seville are on offer all over the city. Most guidebooks
warn against visiting the touristy "shows" or tablaos on the grounds that
they’re not genuine.
Personally we think these places offer a good night out and
we've had no complaints from Spanish Fiestas customers.
The three most popular shows are listed first. Prices may be higher than
is stated below.
El Tablao Flamenco Los Gallos
Address: Plaza de Santa Cruz, 11
Tel.: 95 421 69 81
Website:
http://www.tablaolosgallos.com/
This tablao has a professional cast and is the nearest you'll get to the real thing.
There are two shows, the first from 9-11pm and the second from 11.30-1.30am.
They charge 21€ including one drink. Our choice. Go for tapas first in Santa
Cruz then go to the show.
El Tablao Flamenco el Arenal
Address: Rodo, 7
Tel: 95 421 64 92
Website:
http://www.tablaoelarenal.com/
Located near the bullring and offering a great evening of entertainment with
the option of dinner. There are two shows, the first at 9pm and the second at
11pm. You can just watch the performance (30,50 with a drink) or watch the show
with dinner (59,50 €).
El Tablao Flamenco Patio Sevillano

http://www.elpatiosevillano.com/
Patio Sevillano is one of the most popular tablaos. Located on Paseo Colon

option of dinner during the performance.
Casa de la Memoria

If you'd prefer to avoid the flamenco show with dinner/drink style

shows take place here every night in the heart of Barrio Santa Cruz and cost
just €12.
El Tablao Flamenco Palacio Andaluz

performed by customers on Thursday evenings. Just northeast of the Iglesía de
Santa Cruz.
Flamenco Dance Museum
Address: C/ Manuel Rojas Marcos 3
Tel: 954 340311

dancing.
