by venteeocho A wide range of bars offering the finest flamenco atmospheres With the rise of flamenco bars in the 19th century, flamenco enjoyed its finest hour in the capital. These days, the flamenco bars and clubs are carrying on the tradition, offering a chance to see flamenco at its purest every night, while enjoying a fine meal or a drink.
Our journey begins in the most traditional flamenco tapas bars in Madrid. At 11 o clock every night, the waiters and the audience sing “la salve”, a tradition which “comes directly from Jerez”, according to the venue manager Rafael Cantero. “The lights go down, and candles are lit in order to get the singers in the mood, and the audience is given a song sheet so that they can join in”. Not only can the audience enjoy the finest local music, but they can also enjoy the traditional tapas and dishes such as gazpacho, potatoes, fried fish and bull tail, and wines such as sherry and manzanilla de Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

 Flamenco by Lorro There are several places to see flamenco in Madrid. I like Casa Patas because they feature many well known visiting artists and its a place that Spanish people like to go too. There are generally less dancers than you would see in a typical "tablao" but this place is more authentic. They have two shows a day and also a restaurant with typical spanish food, a little expensive but not too bad. When I was there the flamenco artists and all their friends were dining at the restaurant. Call for times and reservations, cost is about 25 E per person. Definately recommended.

 spanish guitar rythm by parsix I had seen Flamenco shows in other countries but not Spain, that is a crime. I almost went to one in Sevilla, but at the end it never happen. I had been reluctant of going to one in Madrid as I herd they where touristy oriented. (meaninf they are not real traditional) On my last visit JoseL a VT member invited us to the oppening of a new "tablado" (that is wood, where they dance). I must admit we all had a great time. For myself and Alexa it was the first time in Spain, for the rest of the crowd it was still very good. Flamenco show's will usually play songs from different regions. Each region has a slightly different music and dance. Dancer will dress appropiatly for each song.

 Belen Fernandez by El_Sueco Corral de la Moreria is perhaps the most famous scene for Flamenco dancing in the world. It has made its fame during the 47 years of establishing (founded in 1956). Many are those prominent guests that have passed their evening here. You can dine or just take a drink with something small to eat. The cost is 30 euro for the show plus cost for what you eat and drink. The atmosphere in this relatively small local is very "Spanish" and you will enjoy a very good music show with singing and dancing. On the scene appears both established artists as new one. On my visit among others were Juan Andres Maya and Belen Fernandez, the last one a tiny small beautiful Spanish girl with unbelievable strength and force in her steps. Recommendable show!

I had an international company meeting in Madrid, one year ago. We had only one free night, and our foreign colleagues ask us (3 Spaniards attending the meeting) where to go for a Flamenco show… Not surprisingly, all of us (2 from Madrid, and me) were clueless… as Flamenco is something typical only from the South of Spain. We asked to the hotel receptionist. He recommended us a few places, and we opted for “Al Andalus” as it was the nearest to our hotel. The show was not top quality, but nice, prices were reasonable and we had a great time there. As expected, mainly tourists but also a few locals. Definitely, for a great Flamenco show, you must go to Andalusia, but if you are just visiting Madrid and want to have some fun, it may be a place to consider. It opens from 22:30 to 06:00. Shows at 23:00 and 01:30 ("Flamenco disco" the rest of the time) Leave a Comment Theme: Live MusicAddress: Capitan Haya 19Phone: +34 915 561 439Directions: Chamartin area. Metro Cuzco

 Facade of the bar by SirRichard A nice charming bar to start up the night. Famous for its attractive painted-ceramic tiles with typical spanish wines advertisings. Live shows some nights. For the shows, look at: Los Gabrieles Leave a Comment

 Flamenco Performer! by jamiesno Casa Patas is a great night spot not far from the Peurta Del Sol. The Flamenco is amazing and very authentic. The performers are very good and equally as dramatic and I witnessed in Sevilla. This is a small night club atmosphere where the performers are right next to you. Be warned that if you are from North America where smoking is virtually banned, in Casa Patas and most Spanish night clubs there will be lots of smoke!! Get used to it because it is not worth missing the great Flamenco over it! But I should stress again in this tip I guess that this is not touristy flamenco, this is very popular authentic flamenco with lots of local people there.

 Flamenco dancing by LanaFromRiga Flamenco started in Andalusia, but flamenco in Madrid is in high level dancing art too. Professional cante flameco with guitar sounds in the “Casa Patas” club (Calle de Canisares 10). Tablao reputation has “Café – de - Chinitas” (Calle Torija 7) where you can see flamenco dancing.

 Flamenco is a fiesta of passionate dance and music by jorgejuansanchez As in the whole of Spain, the most loved folklore in Madrid is flamenco, an explosive amalgam of Spanish old singings and dances that were enriched and consolidated when absorbed aspects of gracious Gypsies movements coming from India, Jews chants from their synagogues, Arabs melodies, fragments of remote Byzantine liturgy, and North African rhythms. It was born in a marginal and intercultural Andalusian society (Argentinean Tango emerged under the same social conditions). Flamenco Clubs are called TABLAO. In Madrid I recommend CORRAL DE LA MORERIA, centrally located and probably the best, where Hugh Grant and Richard Gere go every time that they come to Madrid to promote a new film. CAFÉ DE CHINITAS is also OK and centrally located. EL CORRAL DE LA PACHECA is good, in an old wooden theatre of comedies, but far from the centre. FLORIDA PARK, situated inside the huge Parque del Retiro, offers a Flamenco Show with original modern elements, type lasers, vapours and other effects.
