The idea of a Flamenco & Dinner Show tends to strike fear and dismay into the heart of the savvy traveller. And with good reason, as these tend to be overpriced spectacles with mediocre entertainment – and even worse food – in charmless surroundings crammed with busloads of hapless tourists. Other more respectable venues in town don’t do the “dinner package” thing, but for some reason often have their performances scheduled so that they cut the evening in half, not especially comfortable for people not accustomed to going out for dinner after 10.30 pm.
Of course most “flamenco shows” are designed for visitors. Locals who love flamenco tend to go to “peñas”, which are like private clubs, where casual visitors may not be welcome and which might feel a bit intimidating.
My Flamenco & Tapas experience combines the best of both in intimate and unique settings that showcases talented performers and exquisite food and wine.
Flamenco & Tapas: you will be met at a central meeting point, and taken to see a spectacular hour-long flamenco performance. On the way to the show you’ll be given some background about flamenco to prepare you for your experience and, once you arrive at the venue, you will be shown to you your reserved seats where you can enjoy the show. Afterwards there will be a 2.5 hour tapeo, visiting two of my favourite bars, one traditional and one modern, where you will enjoy some of the best tapas and wines in Sevilla. (minimum: two people)
