TheOneToGo
Madrid's flamenco scene runs from tourist traps to genuine tablao stages where the music and movement hit you in the chest, and the difference comes down to the caliber of the artists and how close you sit to them.
Our pick
Corral de la Moreria has staged professional flamenco on the same small stage since 1956, nearly 70 years, so the dancers, singers, and guitarists are performing for their own reputation rather than for a coach tour. You sit close enough to hear the singer draw breath and the heel crack against the floorboards, and the optional dinner lets you stretch the evening out instead of rushing in and back out the door.
If our pick doesn't fit
A tight, no-frills performance in the city centre at a lower price, better if you want flamenco without a long evening commitment.
The cheapest seat in the category, though the venue is smaller and the review base is thin.
