Dinner and flamenco show at the Tablao Cordobés on La Rambla

You have dinner first and the flamenco comes afterwards, in the same room: a venue on La Rambla decorated with plasterwork and tiles inspired by the Nasrid style. You sit down at the time of your session, you have an hour and a half for the buffet or the tapas, with wine, beer, sangria, water, juices and coffee unlimited, and then the lights go down for about 70 minutes of live singing, dancing, guitar and palmas, with no interval. All together it lasts about two and a half hours. If you have already eaten, the ticket with one drink costs €48.

Three dinner sessions and one tapas session in the afternoon

The tablao is open every day of the year. For dinner there are three sessions: at 18:00, at 19:30 and at 21:15, with the show at 19:15, 21:00 and 22:30. In the afternoon there is a tapas session at 16:30 that ends with the 17:40 show. Not every session runs every day: the calendar on the online sales page says which are left. The buffet and show costs €82, the tapas and show €72.

Tables are allocated in order of booking, with preference for diners. The sooner you book, the closer to the stage you sit. Children from age 4, as long as they can sit through the show in silence, and there is a children's menu.

From Liceu metro to La Rambla, 35

You are in the lower part of La Rambla, between the Liceu and the sea. Get off at Liceu or Drassanes, both on line 3, and walk two or three minutes. Arrive about ten minutes before your time: you cannot go in earlier, and if you are more than 15 minutes late your entry is not guaranteed. If anyone has allergies or follows a diet, say so when booking: they prepare vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-free, nut-free and halal menus.
