About Flamenco in Granada
Granada is one of the best places in Spain to enjoy authentic Flamenco shows and performances because of its deep historical ties to the art which has been influenced by the city's unique cultural mix of Andalusian, Gypsy, Moorish, and Jewish traditions.
Flamenco is an incredibly passionate art form and when experienced in person in front of a live show, it’s hard not to feel the passion, energy and emotion that the performers/artists put into it.
Although the overall artform is the same, depending on the area that you see it, it will have different influences, depending on the artists giving the performance and where they originate from and learnt the art.

History of Flamenco in Granada
The Gypsies in Andalusia in the 15th century and they are credited with shaping Flamenco into the passionate art form it is today. The Sacromonte caves became a hub for the art when the gypsies occupied the caves and this is where the unique "Zambra" style was developed. ‘Zambra Flamenca’ is a more intimate and raw form of Flamenco, and was traditionally performed at weddings and celebrations. The tablao's that offer it in Granada are very popular.
As Granada is fairly isolated from other Andalusian cities it also allowed its Flamenco scene to develop it’s own distinct character, separate to Zambra. Granada’s Flamenco is more about personal expression and is often performed in smaller, more intimate settings, as you will see if you visit one of the live shows. Sometimes we prefer the more intimate setting as the passion and emotion spreads easily to the smaller audience with them being so close to the stage. You almost can’t help but feel the emotion of the performance.
Experiencing Flamenco in Granada offers you not just a performance but a deep dive into the cultural traditions that have evolved in the art over time. Whether you choose to watch a show in a traditional cave in Sacromonte or a modern setting in town, you’ll feel the passion and energy!
