Here’s our top ten, in no particular order because, honestly, they’re all worth it.

Teatro Flamenco Madrid

This is a theater dedicated entirely to flamenco in the heart of Madrid. It offers shows every day of the year and hosts five different cycles, including “Ay, amor, amor!” and “Domingos de vermut y potaje”. And if you want to go a little further, Teatro Flamenco Madrid also offers classes! It’s perfect if you’re looking for an experience that goes beyond singing and dancing.

Cardamomo Tablao Flamenco

Cardamomo Tablao Flamenco has a great reputation… and for good reason! It’s one of the most well-known places to enjoy flamenco in Madrid in an intimate setting with limited capacity.

Great artists like Joaquín Cortés, Enrique Morente, and Remedios Amaya have performed here, and it’s also a stage for young promising talents.

It has shows 365 days a year and, note, it has received recognition as “Cultural Heritage of the City of Madrid”.

Tablao Flamenco 1911

Another classic for watching flamenco shows in Madrid is Tablao Flamenco 1911. It’s the oldest tablao in Madrid, dating back to 1911. Great artists like Miguel de Molina, Juanito Valderrama, and Antonio Molina have performed here.

Its schedule includes three daily flamenco shows, special programs, and many surprise artists.

Corral De La MoreríA

Do you want to see great stars of dance, singing, and guitar live? Every night, from Monday to Sunday, Corral de la Morería puts on a show designed for both aficionados and first-timers. Either way, you’re going to love it.

If you want a decor that complements the show, you’re in luck! At Tablao de la Villa, you can enjoy one of the best flamenco shows in Madrid inside a 19th-century palace-house in the heart of the city’s historic center. And it’s not just the place that’s beautiful; the programming is amazing.

Tablao Flamenco Torres Bermejas

Torres Bermejas is another flamenco tablao in Madrid that offers three shows a day and even four during the weekend; so you have no excuse not to come.

Teatro Tablao Essential Flamenco

Every day, Essential Flamenco offers three performances that bring together the cream of the crop of flamenco, always under the artistic direction of “El Mistela”.

The ensemble includes more than ten dancers, singers, and guitarists, which guarantees variety and freshness in all shows.

Additionally, special activities are held on Tuesdays —from educational encounters to improvisations— making the week an essential date for all lovers of flamenco art.

Tablao ÓPera Flamenca

Under the direction of Salvador Barrul —the renowned flamenco master— Ópera Flamenca fills the city with spirit through a perfect blend of the genre’s classics and more modern styles.

Las Carboneras

The tablao Las Carboneras has coined its own style and has become a driving force in the new era of flamenco in Madrid; the venue fuses live performances with high-end Spanish cuisine and temporary exhibitions by prominent visual artists.

The Palace of the Count of Miranda —where it is located— has a lot of charm and the level you will find here is extremely high.

Tablao Flamenco Café Ziryab

A much more modern, intimate flamenco show in Madrid with a very interesting program. It’s perfect if you want to feel part of the show, almost like in a rehearsal among friends. And this doesn’t mean that at Café Ziryab you will only find young and promising artists, of course not. Reference flamenco artists and those with long careers also come to perform here.

Experience Flamenco in Madrid

Flamenco is very similar to Madrid: diverse, powerful, and full of life, which is why it fits so well and is so well received by both tourists and locals.

And it doesn’t matter if you can’t differentiate a seguiriya from a bulería; what’s important is that you feel it, that it gives you goosebumps, and above all, that you enjoy it.

Want more? Take a stroll through some flamenco shops in Madrid. In areas like Atocha, Lavapiés, or around Ópera, you’ll find places to buy everything from a polka-dot dress to handmade castanets.
