Tablao Alvarez Quintero

We had a great experience at Tablao Alvarez Quintero. The show is very intimate, maybe 30 or 40 seats. Get there early to get one of the front row seats - we did not 😕. But all the seats are good as it is set up as stadium seating so you have a good view regardless. As for the performance - Spectacular! Francesca was magnificent. Gentle, Powerful,and Precise. The male dancer was also impressive with excellent footwork. Both exhibited great passion. They shared their joy with us through dance. Next time in Seville, I will be looking for Francesca Grima to see where she is performing.

Tourist trap! Avoid this place. I'd generally never go to a place like this, because it sounded my tourist trap alarm, but as I've been proved wrong in the past on a similar place where they delivered a sublime performance, I ignored it. I was wrong. First, the venue is terrible. You can't really see the dancers fully, as the stage is not raised. Aside from that, it is inside an alcove, which limits the dancers' movement and expression. The pieces were extremely rushed. There was no build up and climax, every piece was just straight to the point and then done with it. There was no allure, no emotion, no depth. This performance felt like a pastiche, they were pretending they didn't have to try hard because the public was just a bunch of tourists that would never come back. Shame. The singer was good, but unfortunately the guitarist was very lacking. I've seen some amazing flamenco guitarists, and unfortunately he needs to study more. Lots of missed notes, poor dynamics, terrible projection (it was very hard to hear the guitar at certain points). I believe the guitarist is a classically trained musician, as his touch was very light. The dancers were good, but I think I could only appreciate 50% of their performance. As I said above, this place is a tourist trap and should be avoided at all costs. 25 euros will buy you many cañas and will make you happier than this prefabricated, tourist fodder attraction.

A wonderful experience not to be missed! It takes place in an intimate setting where the audience can feel the genuine passion of the performers. Each person performed with professionalism - especially Francesca who lights up the stage with her amazing technique. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone looking for a fantastic tablao 💃

Underground style show yet very professional and worth the ticket!! They really sweat for our pure entertainment! To recommend!

Got the first show. There were some vacant seats because, well, it was 40° when we went and trust me, it is hot out. There’s AC inside the tablao so no need to worry though! Performers delivered very beautifully. It’s a good show for first-time watchers. A lot of the audience are Spanish too! There’s a 5-min window where you can take photos and videos because you’re not allowed to take any during the performance. Be there early as audience can pick their seats. You’d want a seat in front, aisle, or far back for good view.

Tablao Alvarez Quintero creates an atmosphere that is very personal, intimate, and full of energy. The dancers were extremely talented, the guitarist was very skilled, and the singer was almost angelic? I would very much recommend this for anyone who has never seen flamenco before. The pricing is steep, but worth it!
