About the Show

Corral de la Moreria is located in the center of Madrid, very close to the Royal Palace. The tablao was founded by Manuel del Rey in 1956, making it one of the oldest, continuously run flamenco establishments in the country. The ambience is historic, and the decoration features items and architectural details from the 18th and 19th centuries, creating a traditional atmosphere typical of the oldest tablaos. It is the stage where the most important artists have performed in the history of flamenco, and therefore the most important stage in history of flamenco (Paco de Lucia premiered "Entre Dos Aguas", Camarón went on stage when he was 13 years old, Pastora Imperio, Antonio Gades, El Cigala, Mario Maya, Blanca del Rey and a very long list of additional performers).

In addition to being a flamenco tablao, Corral de la Morería is a show production center, a choreographic production center and a music production center. Its owner and artistic director Blanca del Rey has toured the most important theaters in the world with her company and received in recent years, among many others, the following awards:

National Flamenco Award
Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts, presented by Their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain.

Reviews

I have mixed feelings writing this review. The place: I was looking for a place that wouldn’t be a tourist trap but eventually ended up in a civilized version of one :) don’t get me wrong - the place is efficiently run, food served swiftly, you might need to remind about a bottle of water you ordered a few times but generally, definitely a good service. The show: in one word, impressive (with a disclaimer that it was my first time watching flamenco, so I don’t really have a good benchmark). It was clear that the performers have been giving 150%, and the show was intense and mesmerizing. From what I understood from the website, they invite different dancers to perform there, check the website to find out whom to expect. The food: descent but overpriced. The cheapest menu was 49,95 Euro. I liked the sound of the menu Alegria which in combination with a glass of meh white wine costed me 69,15 Euro. The scallop carpaccio was 3/10, the sea bass was 6/10, the lamb rack 8/10 - all portions are tiny so you won’t overeat. In summary, give it a go, or better find a local person and ask for their recommendation!
Even if people may think or label Corral de la Moreria a tourist trap, I have only one word to say about the show and dinner and that is "WOW!!" We have tried our fair share of dinner shows and this is one of the best from the standpoint of the food and the show. This is the first time any dinner show has offered a vegan menu option. My wife was skeptical and went in with low expectations but was surprised and impressed at the end of her meal. I ordered from the 2nd most expensive menu option and was equally impressed by the flavors, tastes and presentation. It is a small but crowded venue and the place has the dinner service down to a science. On top of that, they put on a beautiful and fantastic flamenco show. The dancers, singers and musicians were wonderful and you can't help but get drawn into their world. I did not need to understand the language to enjoy the evening. During our visit to Spain, we saw 4 different Flamenco shows. Each show is unique and emotional in their own way, but I loved this show at Corral de la Moreria the best.
We were warmly welcomed and even received a small bottle of cava as a gift for our anniversary, which was a lovely touch. The venue isn’t very large and was fully booked, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. Service was very good — attentive and helpful. Since our menu included both fish and meat, we opted for wine by the glass rather than a full bottle. We were recommended a glass of red wine priced around €30. While the wine was good, it was served a bit too cold for a red. The food was okay, but not particularly memorable. We also noticed that portion sizes seemed to vary between tables. We spent around €450 for the evening. While it was a unique experience, especially thanks to the great show, I’m not sure I’d choose to repeat it at that price point.
A must see for your trip to Madrid! This is the oldest flamenco show in city center. Great performers and the food was surprisingly good! Celebrated my birthday here and they made it special with a petite birthday brownie just for me. Nice touch!
Okay, so the show itself is a 5/5. They are truly exceptional artists and at the top of their craft. The wait staff is also wonderful, kind, and attentive. Very professional. However, the food is really, really bad. Like just barely above plane food. How in the world this has a Michelin star is beyond me. And if you book the 9:30 dinner/show (which I did because I figured the show started at like 10), you will have to wait until 11:15 for the show to start. So, if you can get tickets to just the show, do that!
What a great dinner and show! This was a highlight of our visit to Madrid. The wine at dinner was excellent and the 5 course meal was a little different but it’s always fun to expand the palate and try new things. It was a large room so you were seated in close proximity of others but if you enjoy that as we do you’ll have fun! Most of the people near us were from the States so that made the conversations flow easier! The show was wonderful and the performers were excellent! A must do in Madrid!
