Flamenco in Granada

Caves? With flamenco? Hmmm.

Can't help you with that. Maybe there are caves that have flamenco shows (really... caves?) but I've never heard of them.

You should know that flamenco is mostly associated with Sevilla, not Granada. I'm sure you can find someplace in Granada that has a flamenco show, most likely in a bar or night club. Ask your hotel. But if your trip also includes Sevilla, that's the place to see flamenco.

I think you are talking about flamenco shows in the caves of Sacramonte. Here is a link to a site that tells you more about it: http://www.spanish-fiestas.com/granada/flamenco.htm. There is lots of flamenco to be heard and seen in Granada, and you'll probably come across some of its most authentic expressions just by wandering around the Alhambra. Enjoy.

Great site, thank you! I will let you know how it is! Will be there in 2 weeks! Thanks.

There is plenty of flamenco in Granada, and considering its size relative to that of Seville, much more in my view.

And yes the caves in Sacromonte have flamenco.

My husband and I traveled extensively in Spain about 3 years ago. The caves in Granada are authentic (curved ceilings painted white and tucked into the hillside) but the flamenco dancing and singing is pretty painful stuff. It is really a tourist trap with dinner being offered (read "demanded"). But, the main thing is that the dancers are old and the whole experience is not what you want. I suppose if you can find nothing else, it is a good idea to go there but omit the dinner. I love Flamenco dancing and we found, in Cordoba, in the music/theater center there in the old city near Tourist Information, the Andalucian Dance Company (or something like that). They were also in Madrid. This is a non-profit company and it is the performing arm of the dance/education school. We are going to Spain in February (it's the only warm place in Europe then) and I am going to research before I go on Google and tourist information sites of Spain to find proper flamenco dancing. A lot of Flamenco focuses on the singing, which, after ten minutes, is quite enough. Tourist information centers on site in Spain aren't that helpful (I don't think the Spanish regard this as an "in" thing). Good luck.
