About the Show

Located along the Camino de Sacromonte, Cueva de La Rocio features two different caves plus a large outdoor terrace with fabulous views of the Alhambra and Generalife. The flamenco shows of approximately 45 minutes include between six to eight different artists. Seating is on each side of the cave with the artists performing in close proximity. Spectators are able to see the show up close, typical of Zambra flamenco which characteristic of the region of Granada. This style can trace its origins to traditional gypsy wedding celebrations which were once held in the caves of Sacromonte.

Cueva de La Rocio was one of the first venues of its kind in the Sacromonte quarter of Granada. Founded by Don Andres Maya Fajardo and Doña Rocio Fernandez Bustamante in the early 50's, the cave remains under the direction of the Maya family, a prominent name in the world of flamenco. In recent years Cueva de La Rocio has had the pleasure of receiving many famous visitors including the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, as well as the Kings of Spain, Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia who visited with former President of the United States, Bill Clinton.

The flamenco show in Cueva de La Rocio includes a drink or dinner. For the 22:00 show there are ticket options with transportation (round trip) and a panoramic visit, including collection from city center locations (direct pickup from some hotels along the route is possible) and a walking tour through the Albayzín, the former Arab quarter known for its narrow streets, tranquil plazas and views of the Alhambra and Generalife. The walking tour takes places either before or after the show. Currently the transport/tour option is not offered due to the pandemic situation. The option of the show with dinner includes a fixed price menu featuring typical dishes from Granada. The menu includes two courses to choose from, dessert and drink. Dining is inside one of the caves or on the terrace during the spring and summer (weather permitting).

Reviews

Lovely, authentic flamenco in the caves. Fives different dancers and a group of musicians and a singer entertained us in a cave. The ticket also included a drink (beer, sangria, coke etc). Very talented entertainers.
A different experience to watch local Flamenco but service and show quality is not the best one. There are professional theatre restaurants in Madrid for Flamenco and they are much better than this one.
While we were in Granada we tried this great dancing experience. We waited a bit longer than We scheduled for. They bring one free drink with the show. But not the quality ones. The Dancers danced with a great performance and passion. It is an experience and we did that. Thanks. L
Totally blown away experience. The two dancers danced almost nonstop, with great passion. The singer was a young lady and sang excellent. The guitarist was the best I saw in my whole Spain trip, slow or fast, great techniques. I myself play classical so guitarist was my major focus and he definitely amazed me. At the end a male dancer came in and did a very fast tap, beyond my imagination. If you only want to watch one show, this is it!
The dancing, the dancers, the musicians and the intimate setting in the “cave” were all great, authentic, intimate and entertaining. There were other places for improvement to make the experience even more amazing - the guy checking in people was gruff/unfriendly, the drink servers/seaters were unorganized & rushy, the sangria was terrible. The waiting area between the shows was chaotic and could be dangerously if there was an emergency.
It was a wonderful evening with a tasty menu with 4 courses. Each one was was tastier than the previous one. The waiter and the staff were super nice. They know what they are doing. The Highlight was the flamenco show afterwards. It was a little bit crowded, but the dancers were right in front of you. So it wad possible to see the whole dance and directly feel the passion and expression of the dancers. All in all it was a well timed and planned program for tourists and a care free package through and through, as we wished! And by far the best and most authentic flamenco show so far.
