Cardamomo

Cardamomo has been an integral part of the Madrid flamenco scene for over 25 years, and has been recommended by the NY Times as part of their "36 Hours" city travel series. The venue is known for attracting some of the best talent in Spain and features a varying list of artists. Aside from special performances the establishment always brings in a new performer every week. The list of nationally and internationally known artists who have performed in Cardamomo over the last twenty years is certainly impressive: Joaquín Cortés, El Cigala, Enrique Morente, José El Francés, Estrella Morente, Jorge Pardo, Antonio Carmona, Ramón El Portugués, Tomatito, Raimundo Amador and many more. Aside from the guest performers, each month the venue presents a new flamenco program. There are two types of tickets for the performance: show only or a choice of several dinner menus. All tickets include a welcome drink before the show of wine or juice.

The atmosphere in the 85 seat venue is intimate, relaxed and casual. Cardamomo is known for attracting a younger crowd with string interest in the local flamenco scene. The tablao / bar is also much more than a performance space. The entire culture of flamenco is represented with plenty of special events: flamenco conferences, art exhibits, photography, benefit and tribute concerts are part of the regular rotation. This is perhaps why Cardamomo is self-proclaimed as a "cultural center for restless souls".

Cardamomo is conveniently located in the center of Madrid, near the Puerta del Sol and within the neighborhood of Las Letras, one of the most popular and lively in the capital of Spain. The location is well connected by subway, bus and commuter train.
