Our funlovers tell you about their evening
Flamenco is an art form born in Andalusia, in southern Spain. It mainly combines singing (cante), dance (baile) and musical accompaniment (toque), especially on the guitar.
Flamenco developed in Andalusia from a range of cultural influences. Its history is closely linked to the Gitano communities of Andalusia, as well as to the musical traditions found in the region over the centuries.
The exact origins of flamenco are hard to date, as it was first passed down orally. The first documented forms close to today's flamenco mainly appear from the late 18th century onwards.
Andalusia is considered the historical cradle of flamenco. Cities such as Seville, Cádiz, Jerez de la Frontera and Granada played an important role in its development and still have a strong flamenco tradition today.
Flamenco includes many styles, called palos, each with its own rhythm and character. Among the best known are soleás, bulerías, alegrías, tangos and seguiriyas.
The flamenco guitar takes centre stage, accompanied in particular by palmas, the famous rhythmic hand claps. Depending on the show, you may also hear the cajón and other percussion instruments.
The footwork, called zapateado, allows dancers to create rhythmic sequences that interact with the music. It is one of the most distinctive techniques of flamenco dance.

Heels striking the wooden floor, a guitar picking up speed, a cry rising from the back of the room. Flamenco isn't something you watch, it's something you feel, and it's in the tablaos of Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Malaga and Cordoba that it reaches its full power. To help you choose the right venue, we've sorted through the country's tablaos.
From Antonio Canales to Remedios Amaya, big names in flamenco have already graced the stage of this Madrid tablao, which features renowned artists every week.
Expect a one-hour show, drink included. With the snack option, Iberian ham and Manchego cheese accompany the evening, and VIP seats give you the front row.
A flamenco theatre attached to a tavern: that's what makes this Madrid venue in the San Bernardo neighbourhood stand out, with traditional flamenco as the headline act.
The small room brings the artists close to the audience, so close you can feel every heel strike. A great introduction for a first taste of the genre.
Two palos set the rhythm of the evening, bulerías and soleás, on the stage of this historic theatre on Rambla de Catalunya, performed by dancers such as Iván Alcalá and Yolanda Cortés.
Flamenco guitar solos and pulsating percussion complete the vocals. One spectator appreciated the intimate venue and the complimentary drink, two details that count on a first night out.
Several generations of artists have performed on the stage of this historic tablao on Plaça Reial, now home to the new Catalan scene.
Don't worry, there's no need to get up on stage: you're here to watch, listen and let yourself be carried away. The nearby Barri Gòtic is perfect for a stroll after the show.
The flamenco dinner show is the speciality of this Barcelona tablao: the evening starts at the table, before the dancers take the stage.
On the menu, Spanish specialities served before the show. A package that makes sense for a birthday or a romantic evening, with no need to find a restaurant.
A change of scene beneath the mosaics of the Palau de la Música Catalana, where three guitarists join a flamenco dancer for a concert-show.
The repertoire blends classical guitar and flamenco, from Manuel de Falla to Paco de Lucía. Ideal for music lovers and dance fans alike.
Founded by the bailaora Cristina Hoyos, this museum in the Santa Cruz quarter of Seville hosts the show in an 18th-century Andalusian patio lined with orange trees.
Artists from the Ballet Cristina Hoyos dance for an hour to live music. A combined ticket also lets you visit the exhibition on the history of flamenco.
A rare find: a flamenco show in Arab baths. This one takes place in the Santa María baths, a historic monument in the heart of Cordoba.
With no amplification, acoustic flamenco echoes beneath the vaults, right next to the artists. A tapas tasting or a Cordoban menu can round off the evening.
It's the footwork that impresses first at this Malaga tablao, with live music and an intimate atmosphere.
In the heart of Andalusia, the birthplace of flamenco, Malaga is the perfect setting for a first discovery. Handy too during a stay on the Costa del Sol.
