Essential Flamenco: Pure Flamenco Show in the Heart of Madrid

Authentic and amazing

I loved how it started with the history of how Flamenco came to be. The dancers were so passionate and the singer, guitarist and box drummer did amazing. The sangria was very good.

Madrid Vacation

Great show as well as history of the Flamenco! Definitely recommend if visiting the beautiful city of Madrid !

Highly recommend! From family of 5

All around a fantastic experience, I cannot recommend highly enough. It was my family’s first time in Madrid and Spain. Two parents plus 3 children in their 20’s and 30’s. We were greeted very warmly prior to the show, the waitstaff provided drinks for everyone and were very conversational. The show started with a brief explanation of the roots of flamenco, which was very educational. The flamenco show was beautiful. The live music and the dancers were very professional. You can tell they pour themselves into the art of flamenco. The passion is very palpable. The highlight of the show is obviously the dancing. The level of dance is very much on par with what you’d expect to find on Broadway in New York City with other musical genres. That is to say, stellar, captivating dancing. I highly recommend for anyone visiting Madrid as a tourist.

As a guest you are served...

As a guest you are served a delicious beverage and you sit in a natural acoustic space. You receive a wonderful history of Flamenco and its origins followed by a breathtaking performance by the Flamenco Dancers, Singer, Guitarist, and Drunmer. You sit very close and it is a most intimate viewing experience!

Do not leave Madrid without seeing this!

The show was amazing! When we walked into the bar area, I wasn’t expecting it to be so ‘lush’ and with lovely service. The setting for the flamenco show was very authentic and intimate. The dancing was incredible along with the singer and musicians. A must see in Madrid.

great flamenco evening

fantastic experience. atmospheric setting talented dancers and musicians. value for money would recommend

Flamenco Night Out in Madrid

The musicians and dancers were quite good. We had expected the costuming to be a lot more ornate so was a little disappointed with that. As the entire vocal work was in Spanish we did not understand the story of the song, it appeared to be very sad, definitely not uplifting, an explanation at the beginning it ending would have helped to make us feel a part of the song.

Flamenco experience

It was great everyone enjoyed teenages really had fun great customer service from the staff I highly recommend

Great show!

The dancing and overall experience was great but the guitar playing....wow. I would highly recommend.

A fab way to see authentic flamenco.

A completely fabulous experience, well managed from beginning to end. Intimate performance space, great explanation of flamenco before the performance itself, amazing musicians and dancers. Engaging and wonderful.

Beautiful Dance

I had fabulous time with the flamenco dance. The combination of intricate footwork, graceful arm movements, and emotional expression makes it a beautiful art form to watch.Flamenco dance is truly captivating and mesmerizing.The passion and intensity displayed in flamenco performances are truly remarkable, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Spain.

Unforgettable Flamenco Experience inadrid

The performers' passion and talent were mesmerizing, delivering an authentic and powerful flamenco experience. The intimate setting allowed us to feel every emotion and movement up close. This show is a must-see for anyone visiting Madrid.

A wholesome entertainment

The cellar gave a feeling of the times gone long past. The dances were well choreographed. Musician were excellent.

Excellent Show

This was a very intimate space. You could tell the performers were passionate about their performance. Would recommend this show!

Authentic experience

The intimate atmosphere with delicious Sangria made this an excellent experience! Informative and entertaining.

Nice 1 hour show in intimate setting

Nice show. Nice to have a more intimate venue (3 rows only) and was nice to have a shorter show option (1 hour) vs some other offerings.

Great family fun with culture, music, and dancing!

This was a great experience for our family (10yr old & 13yr old) as it had history, culture, and fun! The folks welcoming you were extremely nice and eager to have us join them. And the performers were so into their craft, you felt their passion and desire to make the show great. Finally, the intimate setting made it really special and close. I would definitely recommend this be part of your experience, especially if in the city center.

Flamenco show

The dancers were excellent. You must get there early so that you can get a seat where you can see the performers’ feet. We were 5 tables back and couldn’t see. We arrived at 7:25 and the 7:20 performers had started and the performance last 30 minutes. We had a hard time getting into the vevue because it was a game day and there was a huge line to get into the restaurant for food. They should have a separate entrance for the show.

Flamenco Dance

Very entertaining! Highly recommend for your visit in Madrid if you want to immerse yourself in the culture! The show is approx an hour and it goes so fast and keeps you engaged!! Definitely a must do

Ole’ and Ole’

Had my full attention the whole time. Excellent performance with dedication to their art. I would gladly view again and bought their CD so I can listen and share. Every seat is a great seat.

What an amazing experience!!

Just do this!!! The whole experience exceeded my expectations. The music and dancing were mesmerizing. The venue was so small you could easily see the expressions on the dancers faces. It could not have been better

Truly essential Flamenco!

Really liked the introduction giving the origins and history of Flamenco. All the artistes were wonderful, very emotive, especially the lady dancer. Highly recommend this show. Oh, the Sangria is way too sweet but the Vino is okay.

Great show

Easy experience. Great show with talented dancers and musicians. The setting is intimate but really nice. The sangria was nice as well. Wish my set had a holder for the sangria but otherwise, very nice experience.

We had a great time and it was a great experience

We enjoyed ourselves at the flamenco show . It was wonderful and we really liked the atmosphere and the history behind the Gypsy’s and their flamenco dancing. The dancers and musicians were very good. We highly recommend going to the show

Get immersed in the history of Madrid

Nice that Martin could tell us history of some of the buildings. He was very knowledgeable. I think they need to upgrade their listening devices. It was hard to hear him and sometimes it would get cut off completely. Lots of statics. But overall a great tour.

Marvelous venue

So up close and personal.. nothing can compare to an authentic experience such as this one. Marvelous dancers and musicians. I loved it so much, I went back a second time.

Great experience, great...

Great experience, great Flamenco dancers 💃, great acoustics & Sangria. I would like to come again. The staff was very welcoming, really recommend

Pretty good.

Intimate venue, we were close to the stage which was nice. Seemed like the performers didn't really make eye contact though like they had at other venues we had been. We were front and center with no rows behind us but when they looked our way it always seemed to be far above our heads which was kinda odd for a small venue. Also, the show seemed somewhat fast. There were gaps between changes in people and less actual dancing than other venues we've visited in Madrid and Barcelona. We still had a good time, but it wasn't my top Flamenco place.

Ole! Essential Flamenco. 5 star Performance and Service 😍💃🏻

"Fantastic introduction to Flamenco! The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the show included a great overview of Flamenco's history. The flamenco dancers were incredible - so passionate and engaging. The show itself was the perfect length, and the included drink (beer or sangria) was a nice touch. Highly recommend this for anyone wanting to experience authentic Flamenco culture."

Passion and Emotion!

This show was outstanding. We were fascinated by the music and movement! The performances were full of passion and emotion, and this show was well worth the time and money—highly recommended!

An average performance

The staff are very friendly, the cafè where you are served your drinks is nice. However the stage and the auditorium are very small. I chose a smaller theater on purpose, expecting friendly atmosphere, but I didn’t expect to have to sit through the performance squeezed so that it was hard to move. Also the performance was not above average.

Great music, vocals and dance.

Great music, vocals and dance. The grace and beauty of dance with a FIERCE edge. Small space, you will be packed in

Excellent performance in a very intimate setting!

We received our choice of wine or sagria when we arrived and enjoyed an excellent performance! I would recommend this place because they perform in a very small and intimate setting.

Worth to see in reality

Show was nice for someone who participate first time in flamenco show. Hard to compare with others . We have 2 dancers (man and woman) which was less than I expected but still provide me sufficient information about flamenco. Worth for that money

11/10 must see!

Unbelievable. Cannot recommend this authentic flamenco experience more highly we were mesmerised the entire time!!

Unforgettable Madrid Experience

We were welcomed with a drink, and when invited to the stage area were introduced theatrically to the history of flamenco, which set the tone and anticipation for the performance. It was top quality and in an intimate setting. Unforgettable!

Authentic and up close view

Excellent dancers. The small stage was intimate and gave an up close look at this Spanish cultural dancing and flamenco guitar music. Staff helpful and organized.

Experience of a lifetime

What an incredible experience! All staff were very friendly, drinks provided for free were large and delicious. Performers were insanely talented and we were given a brief history in the beginning which helped understand the purpose and history bending Flamenco. Would 100% recommend!!

Live musicians, singer and dancers

Great experience to see traditional Flamenco dancers. Small venue with a great vibe and all seats have a good view of the show. Live musicians and singers made this a perfect experience.

Very intimate performance.

Well, everyone says Flamenco in Madrid is a tourist trap. But if this is a trap, then lure me in and never let me go! I loved the location, ambience, and the star of the show, the performers. They showed so much engagement, emotions, and appreciation for this art. The ambience is so intimate, and the little introduction in the beginning is very informative. Photography is allowed, but please DON'T use flash. Even despite telling, some people just don't check their flash. My flight was horribly delayed, hence I reached late by few minutes. Could not get seats in the middle. If you can, do get seats in the middle, makes it feel like the performers are only there for you. The one complimentary drink is a good start to your evening. Overall will recommend.

Essential Flamenco May 3,2024

What an amazing intimate experience. The venue was very cozy. The music/dancing were the perfect addition to our trip.

Interesting performance, a shame the performers never smiled

It was interesting but the performers never smiled once which was annoying ! Talented dancers, music boring!

Flamenco

Amazing passionate performances that taught me much about flamenco. I appreciated the obvious dedication to flamenco of the performers.

Wonderful show

It was amazing. Intimate setting. Talented performers. My teenaged daughter and I both loved it. I highly recommend going.

Excellent

The small space makes for a very close contact with the troupe; the dancers were excellent, both women and men. The singer was good but he needed a microphone…

Passionate Flamenco

Authentic artists who performed passionately on a small stage in a lower level part of a restaurant that looked like a rehabilitated wine storage room. It made it feel very intimate and almost "cave like" from a mountain. We enjoyed their show. Would recommend with a caveat---if you are the least bit clausterphobic, reconsider to a larger space venue. Also, get there early because the seating is tight.

Must try experience

The show was wonderful and eye-opening. Dancers were just amazing. It was easy to get to. The venue was welcoming and authentic!

A great first experience!

This was a great show if you have never seen flamenco in person. It was a very intimate and unique setting in what I would assume is an old wine cellar. The staff was very attentive and the dancers and musicians provided great intensity and passion for their craft. Was also nice cause it was just the performance and drinks and we didn’t have to worry about eating during the show.

Magical Evening of Flamenco!

This performance exceeded our expectations! It was an intense, improvised interaction between the musicians, the dancers, and the singers that created a magical evening for us. A highlight of our time in Madrid and we would definitely recommend it!

Turn on the air conditioner!

Meh. Too much screwing around, not enough of the girl dancing. I would have preferred a shorter show without having to watch the guy dance. Plus, it is very warm in there.
