One of the best ways to experience the art of Flamenco dancing is to visit one of Barcelona’s most renowned venues. Here you can enjoy a 3 course dinner in authentic surroundings, whilst catching one of the best flamenco shows in town.

The Tablao de Carmen, in its 18 years of existence, has always offered great quality shows and displayed these in the purest of traditions. The show, which lasts 75 minutes, boasts some of the most prestigious and widely acclaimed artists, who are also accompanied by young and promising scholars.

The show dynamically presents several of the most important styles or beats of flamenco. This is so that the spectator can experience the wealth and variety of this amazing art form. With that objective in mind, the show alternates between all of its different expressions: the music, the singing and the dancing.

As an authentic tablao show has no formal choreography, each artist, individually interprets his or her part and the rest follow the beat, marking the rhythm, accompanying it and strengthening it. This improvisation constitutes a key element of flamenco and is directly related to the communication between the artists themselves, and also between them and the audience. The audience always participates in the whole show with its clapping and exclamations. This group communication means that no two shows can ever be the same.
