Flamenco & Tapas

Overview

One night, two essential components of Spanish culture : flamenco, the passionate gypsy song and dance synonymous with Spain, and tapas, the habit of eating a meal composed of small plates of delicacies to share.

During this introduction to the country’s most famous traditions, you’ll visit an authentic Barcelona flamenco house or tablao. Professional dancers and musicians perform a sensational display of the art form at its finest, with passionate refrains, precise dance moves, and exquisite guitar playing.

The concert lasts 30-35 minutes, after which you will be taken to a local restaurant to sample 9 different types of tapas, including classics such as pimientos del padron, patatas bravas, and chorizo al vino, washed down with sangria. The tapas include plenty of vegetarian options.

When?

The activity runs twice a night, at 7pm and 8pm (the shows begin at 7 : 30pm and 8 : 30pm), giving you time to meet your guide and make the short walk to the flamenco venue.

Where?

Both the flamenco venue and the restaurant are located in the Gothic Quarter. The meeting point beforehand is outside Travellers Nest Bar, on Carrer Boqueria 27. Nearest metro stops are Liceu and Jaume I.
