About the Show

Baños Árabes de Santa Maria is located in the Jewish quarter of Cordoba, two minutes away from the famous Mosque, the jewel of the capital of the ancient Caliphate. The venue enjoys a magnificent location, being part of a complex of Arab baths from the Caliphate period, mentioned for the first time in documents dating back to the 12th century. Now this magnificent site that breathes history and art has become an incomparable setting for an unforgettable flamenco experience.

The baths are a perfect example of the Hispano-Muslim architecture of the time. In the past, they had several rooms, one of which, the warm water room, has now been transformed into an open courtyard. However, the fascinating original galleries, such as the cannon room and the traditional water cistern, remain almost intact, and the Moorish traces aid today's artists in the presentation of their art.

Baños Árabes de Santa Maria features a cast of top artists who unite in the passion and strength of the art of flamenco, fusing song, dance and guitar. This impressive experience can be completed with the tasting of typical Cordovan dishes, such as salmorejo, oxtail or flamenquín, which is a must for visitors to the city.

Reviews

This place is unique and has a lot of history. The food is authentic, and the flamenco singer, dancer, and guitarist are exceptional. As a Spanish, I loved the experience much more than any flamenco show for tourists. I recommend this place 300%. We especially thank Rafael for making us feel as if we were at home. We will definitely come back.
A beautiful and atmospheric place, with good food. The flamenco show added to its charm. The service was also great. Greetings to Gonazalo and Lucas.
Very lovely & intimate experience with a wonderful show and delicious food. Gonzalo was a great host too. Would love to go back!
Very poor and rude service. We sat down, after being ignored for over 10 minutes, and the staff wasn’t particularly busy, we asked for menu, order some drinks, wait more time, and then the waiter call me from behind to pass us the drinks. I am not your friend, I am a paying customer, I want to be served as such. After this I am not in the mood to spend money where I get treated rudely, go to pay, and at this point the waiter, that has spoken in English to us so far, speaks in a very quick Spanish. I asked if he could speak in English and his answer is that “we are in Spain, you must speak Spanish”. This kink of nationalism is ridiculous. I am Italian and understand quite a bit of Spanish, but not when it’s spoken very fast like he did. My girlfriend left a similar and polite comment and got removed because violating the guidelines. This places that removed bad comments are also very lucky to pay for the good ones.
STAY AWAY! I had the rudest experience with this restaurant. I would never go back and recommend tourists to stay away!! I was walking by with my daughter and from the door way you can see it is a very interesting space. However, there are numerous hand-written signs all over the front door saying "private space," "no pictures allowed without a consumición.," and "preguntar." Since I was interested and there was no one in the front room area, I walked in to inquiry what the space was and to see if maybe we wanted to eat/drink something. I purposely put my phone away so it didn't appear I was trying to take pictures inappropriately. As I made my way towards the interior room a man (waiter? owner?) came out and rudely asked me what I wanted. I said I wanted to take a look (to see if I wanted to stay and get something.) He immediately started yelling at me to read the door and the place wasn't a public space. Surprised by his tone, I said that I understood that it wasn't a public space and the photos weren't allowed without a consumicion, but that it also said to ask inside, which was exactly what I was doing to see if maybe we wanted to take a seat. I could not believe how dramatic and over the top he got yelling at me that I needed to read the door. Now, I am bilingual in Spanish and English and I understood the signs on the door. When I tried to calmly explain that I had no intent of taking pictures, I simply wanted to see the space to decide if I wanted to get a drink, he continued to yell rudely at me and escorted me to the door. I could not believe his behavior to a potential client. I'm now not surprised how empty the place was. If he was an employee, he should be fired! He is destroying your business because not only did he completely ruin the chance that I would have sat down and purchased something along with my daughter and her friend, but I will never go back and I will tell everyone I know traveling to Cordoba to STAY FAR AWAY. And, I happen to have a lot of connections to travel to Cordoba and have had a working relationship with the Departamento de Cultura in Cordoba previously. Now, if this was the owner of the locale, then, nothing is needed because he will drive his business into the ground all by himself. It was absolutely the most anti-tourist and anti-hospitality behavior I have ever found in my numerous trips to Córdoba. **UPDATE - I did reach out to the owner after her invitation for a phone call. She was extremely kind, professional, and understanding. She explained that the guy who was there when this happened had been a temporary employee and has been let go. She apologized profusely for his behavior and has encouraged me to come back and give it another try. I am very happy and impressed with her response to this situation. I am glad that she dealt with the situation swiftly and appropriately. I applaud her for watching out for her business. All in all, I would give it another try and I would recommend others do as well. I am not deleting my original review because I think it is an important testimony to how such reviews can be handled in an appropriate and professional manner and that speaks positively to the quality of the management. Whenever I get the chance to go back, I promise to leave a new review.
Great Architecture with a good quality Flamenco. Enjoy the drinks and food with the performance
