Flamenco is an art-form traditionally associated with the gypsies of Andalucia. To find good Flamenco in Spain one would look to the back streets of the Barrío de Santa Crúz in Sevilla or the caves of Granada. However fortunately, Madrid being both the geographical and cultural centre of Spain, one can find every tradition and Spanish art-form from different regions here, the art of Flamenco no exception.
Flamenco can be found in "tablaos", classy nightclubs where one can reserve a table, enjoy drinks and tapas and watch a show of Flamenco. At the end of Plaza España, is the charming little Flamenco nightclub calle "Las Tablas". This classy place does live Flamenco shows every night, from music to dance. Las Tablas is a small venue with a limited number of tables giving the place an intimate atmosphere. With everything directed perfectly towards the stage makes for comfortable viewing of any show there. The experience is intense, intimate and cosy. It allows the audience to really feel the passion and the sensuality of flamenco. Las Tablas also offers a good wine selection, along with popular bar drinks and has an excellent tapas menu, giving you the opportunity to feel Spain with all the senses.
