Live music is thriving in Madrid, from classical and opera to blues, rock and jazz, but the speciality is flamenco. It may seem odd that the music of the south is so important up here, but there are two reasons for that: first, a lot of Andalusians…

I used to always imagine flamenco as this passionate dance that took place in darkened stages. During a recent trip to Spain I finally got the chance to visit a Tablao Flamenco. I was happy to see that it was everything I always imagined and even more.

“Our first flamencoshow, and we were really blown away! Very intense and fascinating. We highly recommend it. A small, intimate place with very friendly staff. We only had drinks, but the food looked really nice.”
