Flamenco Shows in Granada
Flamenco shows in Granada are famous for the Zambra style flamenco and most venues are within caves around Sacromonte or the Albayzin. El Templo del Flamenco is a recent addition in what is the largest flamenco cave in Granada. If you want to follow the footsteps of the famous you can try Cueva de la Rocio, where Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton and others have taken in a performance. Zambra Maria Canastera is one of the first caves around and perhaps the most familiar and least commercial. Cuevas Los Tarantos sits at the foot of the Camino de Sacromonte and has two caves, where the artists switch back and forth during the shows. Los Jardines de Zoraya is in the Albayzin, and offers a large outdoor terrace with a more international menu. Tablao el Albayzin is another venue on your way up to Sacromonte.
