About the Show

The Tablao de Carmen owes its name to the famous flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya, who was born in the gypsy quarter of Somorrostro. Amaya made her debut in 1929 for the King of Spain, Alfonso XIII, in the very same space which is now Tablao de Carmen. Both the location and the venue itself offer special details in addition to the flamenco show. Located within the Poble Espanyol de Montjuïc, one of Barcelona´s most important city parks constructed for the 1929 World Exhibition, the tablao shares its grounds with the Fuente Mágica, el Teatro Griego (Greek Theatre), and the Fundación Miró. This area has the feel of a village, with narrow streets, small shops and restaurants.

The venue itself is divided into three spaces, all of which create a typical Andalusian setting for the performances. The main area is the tablao, which accommodates approximately 150 persons and features multiple levels of seating as well as high ceilings. The decoration and colors in the performance area are inspired by the famous Feria de Abril in Seville. Next is an exact reproduction of a "patio cordobés", with all of the details and ambience of the typical homes of Cordoba in southern Spain. Finally, the Freiduría Tio Pepe serves a variety of seafood and other regional dishes along with the typical drink of any Feria: cold fino (sherry).

The Tablao de Carmen was founded in 1988, and features a mix of established and up and coming performers in the Spanish flamenco scene. Two nightly performances last approximately one hour, covering a variety of flamenco styles while individually focusing on the traditional elements of a flamenco performance: the music, song and dance. Ticket packages include the show with drink, tapas or dinner. Special discounts are available for children age 4 - 13 as well as groups. With a reservation in Tablao de Carmen you can enter the exhibition of "Poble Espanyol" for free from 16:00 (4pm) on the day of the show.

Reviews

Amazing experience, highly recommend! Live singing, music, and dancing with great food in a nice atmosphere. The show takes place in a little village that usually requires a paid ticket to enter, but you get in free with the show ticket. My friend and I got the tapas and were worried it wouldn’t be enough food for dinner, but it was more than enough, and delicious! The dancers are so talented, and the show itself is very entertaining. Even if you are not familiar with dance performance, this show will hold your attention until the last moment. It was a great experience to end our trip in Barcelona
We had a fabulous evening: the show, the food worth the price, and the service! The energy and passion from the guitarists, singers and dancers are amazing ! We booked the dinner and were very satisfied. They propose options for everyone (gluten free, lactose free, vegan, kids...), drinks included, coffee or tea at the end. We were seating upstairs at the balcony and had a great view on the stage. The price includes the entrance to Pueblo Espanyol. We arrived at 16:00 and had plenty of time to explore the village before going to the Tablao at 18:00. Highly recommend!
Tablao de Carmen is a most fabulous venue to enjoy when in Barcelona. You feel like you are in Carmen's home with all the ambiance of a of a warm Spanish home. The Tapas were plentiful and beautifully presented. The service beyond reproach. Most of all, the Flamenco Dancers and singers were outstanding and very rememberable. We really enjoyed our visit with the owner after the show. She graciously detailed her history and the background of Tablao de Carmen. Absolutely loved everything that Tablao de Carmen offered. Thank you to all for a most enjoyable evening. Roland & Olga
We loved it! I've been to 3 flamenco shows in Barcelona and this was my favourite one. The young male dancer was particularly great. The food was nice, we had the tapas and everything was typical Spanish. The sangria was good too. I was also happy that we had entrance to the Spanish village with the ticket. Overall excellent price and value for money. I highly recommend.
Located at Poble Espanyol. This is an open air museum. If you have a ticket/ reservation for the Tablao de Carmen then your entrance is free, otherwise it is €15. When booking ticket there are several options for the meal, we choose tapas option what was more than enough. Sangria and coffee are included. Show is nice, not too long. You need to be there on time.
Amazing experience, really authentic Flamenco dancers. You can really feel their emotions! We have booked show + tapas, worth every penny
