About the Show

Cuevas Los Tarantos is located within a former cave home in the Sacromonte neighborhood of Granada. Founded in 1972 by Don Jose and Dona Concepcion Martin Quesada Maya Maya, the cave was transformed into a special venue for Zambra style flamenco, typical of the region of Granada. Today the venue remains family run and now includes three different caves. The nightly flamenco shows continue to feature Zambra, the regional, family style of flamenco which at one time was reserved for gypsy weddings only. And on many nights just as the show concludes, a few lucky spectators are chosen by the dancers to get on their feet and join in the dance and celebration.

Ticket options include the flamenco show with a drink or dinner featuring traditional Granadan cuisine. The fixed price, seasonal menu includes a first and second course as well as dessert and beverage. If chosen, the option for transportation (round trip and only available for the 22:30 show) includes pickup from city center locations (direct pickup from some hotels along the route is possible) and a brief panoramic visit to the Mirador San Nicolas with wonderful views of the Alhambra. The route follows the narrow streets of the Albayzín. This former Arab quarter includes typical Carmens, private homes in Granada with terraces that overlook the Alhambra.

Over the years many important figures from city and province have performed in Las Cuevas Los Tarantos: Luis Heredia "El Polaco", Morenito de Íllora and the singer Chonchi Heredia are just a few examples. Las Cuevas "Los Tarantos" has also enjoyed spontaneous visits from artistas such as Paquito Amaya, Vitorino de Pinos, Julio Terremoto, La Porrona, La Coneja, Bienvenido Maya y Guzmán Albea. All have come to perform and enjoy a unique venue that only a city such as Granada can offer.

Reviews

You have to be there to feel it! Even though it's made for tourists, the artists are actually really good and the experience is unique!
We felt very welcome. The show and atmosphear is authentic. In a gipsy cave you will enjoy good flamenco, a drink or a dinner if you want . Highly reccomended!!!
This was my first experience of flamenco, so I'm not the best to judge. However, personally, I found it very entertaining. Guitar was excellent, and the one male and two female dancers were superb. It was almost frightening in a very good way.
Enjoyed it but not the best flamenco show I've seen (I've only seen 3... 1 other in Granada , 1 in Barcelona). Cave was good, authentic. Drink was nice. However the cave was not well set up for the show. We sat at one end... the wrong end😫 W could only see the face of one dancer , not the other 2 dancers, the singer or the guitarist. They did a short set, a long break then another set. Dancers, singer and guitarist were all great, but not on long enough and couldn't see them. A bit disappointed 😔
Absolutely moving! The passion and emotion of the performers was contagious. The setting is small and intimate. The cave venue seats about 30 people and the dancers are about 3 feet (1 meter) from you as they dance. This is a must see for anyone going to Granada.
Booked it via GetYourGuide and had a terrible experience. We were asked to sit in a far corner from where the views were terrible. Also, it had a huge table which made it almost impossible for people with short height to have a clear view. You can see the photos attached. They had some big tourist group and gave them the best seats despite us being in line way before them. Some of the tourists ended up also blocking the view as they tried to click photos which resulted in couple of us standing to just even have a glimpse of the performance. The Sangria was absolutely terrible and tasted as if the fruits used in it were rotten. All 6 of us left our glasses almost full on that aforementioned table. Having said that the Flamenco dance was spectacular, if only they focused on the customer experience verus being so commercially focused.
