Things to do in Granada, Andalucia: The Best Concerts & Shows
The Alhambra citadel of Granada is one of the most famous buildings in Spain: a Moorish fortress with grand archways and delicate ornamental mosaics. Step backwards in time as you wind through the ascending cobblestone streets of Albayzin. You’ll be rewarded with beautiful views from the Mirador San Nicolas. Granada’s nightlife is vibrant and varied, thanks in part to its student population. Hit the bars of Calle Elvira or, for a quieter outing, the traditional tea rooms of La Calle de Las Teterias.

This tiny place in Albaicin would be easy to miss if you didn't know it was there. It's basically someone's house with a tiny reception area at the front and a seating area for about twelve people in the back room where the music is performed. On the night we went there was a guitarist and cantor who were, quite simply, mesmerizing. Their musicianship and obvious love of real flamenco came through in every piece played and the intimacy of the venue added to the memorable experience. Truly unforgettable - thank you Jacob, Marcus and hosts.

Flamenco Los Olvidados is located inside Palacio de los Olvidados, at the foot of the Alhambra, next to Carrera del Darro, one of the most enchanted and charming places of Granada. This building, from the 16th century, has been recovered to offer traditional flamenco shows with renowned flamenco artists that will show the passion, excitement and soul of this art during this one-hour show.

A guitar player, female singer, a male dancer and a female dancer gave a fantastic show! Just enjoying the flamenco, not distracted by food or drinks. We totally enjoyed the experience.

I enjoyed the flamenco so much at Casa del Arte the other night so thought I go see another show before leaving Granada. I chose the dinner/show option at Zoraya. I bought the ticket through a third party and was told to arrive by 6:30. When I got there, they couldn’t seat me until 7:30 because my ticket was for the 8:30 show. Anyway, the 3 course set dinner was very average and although I was in the first row, my table was near a family with a child who was too young to be quiet during the performance. Once the singer started, I knew I was in for some first rate entertainments. What a voice! The male and female dancers did a pleasant dance together. It was not until the solos when I fully appreciated her skills and expressions. Wish there was some brief description to non-Spanish speaking audience about the theme of her dance. None the less, the passion and soulfulness came through loud and clear! Well done! Photo/video were allowed throughout the show.

We are a FLAMENCO SHOW CAVE in Granada located in the picturesque district of Sacromonte and it is considered one of the main tourist attractiveness in our city. Today fifty years after its founding we continue organizing every night the gypsy tipycal folklore of Sacromonte masterfully offered by the descendents of María La Canastera responsible for maintaining the tradition that she left .

This was definitely one of the highlights of our two-week tour through southern Spain. I would definitely recommend this as the flamenco option if you have to pick one in your trip. The venue is so unique and intimate compared to other shows I have seen advertised and a show we also saw in Seville that was in a more typical stage-like venue. The dancers and musicians had a real energy and genuine sense of connection and joy about them the entire time. The music was fantastic and the dancing was moving and exhilarating. On top of that, they include pick-up and drop-off, which makes it super convenient (I would advise this option not only for convenience but also, at least for us, we got there just before the show started so we got to sit along the walls that gave us a really close-up view of the entire show). This experience will stay with me forever. I loved it!

We thoroughly enjoyed the flamenco and guitar at la alborea. our 8 year old loved it so much, she wanted to go back again!! There are some guidebooks that advise against the 'commercial' flamenco performances in granada, and describe them as lacking in passion and authenticity. We didnt find any lack of passion and intensity. We loved the virtuoso guitar playing - this was worth the entrance fee alone. the two dancers were very expressive and energetic and put on a really entertaining flamenco performance. I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone who visits granada. the venue is quite small, and this intimacy adds to the passionate performance. we left with a feeling of exhiliaration!
