El Patio Sevillano

What is now El Patio Sevillano began in 1952 when the owners founded "Cortijo el Guajiro". The owners brought to the stage many talented performers leading to further success. In its early days El Cortijo featured the young talents of Trini España, Matilde Coral, El Farruco, Manuela Vargas, and Rafael Negro. El Cortijo was often visited by famous toreros as well as artists, politicians and film stars.

In 1956 the location was moved to the heart of the city center in the Plaza del Duque where it continued to attract the highest level talents in the flamenco world, featuring performers such as Chano Lobato, Cristina Hoyos and Milagros Menjibar. For seventeen years the tablao flourished in the Plaza del Duque and in 1973 moved to its current location along the river to a new venue constructed specifically for flamenco performances. Today the location is surrounded by the most typical monuments and sights of Sevilla, including the Plaza de Toros and the Triana bridge.

The tablao continues to host many famous flamenco artists and is known for performances which feature a variety of flamenco styles as well as classical Spanish dance and music. For this, El Patio Sevillano maintains a long list of regular performers as well as hosting touring artists who travel through Spain on regular circuits.
