About the Show

The Tablao de Carmen owes its name to the famous flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya, who was born in the gypsy quarter of Somorrostro. Amaya made her debut in 1929 for the King of Spain, Alfonso XIII, in the very same space which is now Tablao de Carmen. Both the location and the venue itself offer special details in addition to the flamenco show. Located within the Poble Espanyol de Montjuïc, one of Barcelona´s most important city parks constructed for the 1929 World Exhibition, the tablao shares its grounds with the Fuente Mágica, el Teatro Griego (Greek Theatre), and the Fundación Miró. This area has the feel of a village, with narrow streets, small shops and restaurants.

The venue itself is divided into three spaces, all of which create a typical Andalusian setting for the performances. The main area is the tablao, which accommodates approximately 150 persons and features multiple levels of seating as well as high ceilings. The decoration and colors in the performance area are inspired by the famous Feria de Abril in Seville. Next is an exact reproduction of a "patio cordobés", with all of the details and ambience of the typical homes of Cordoba in southern Spain. Finally, the Freiduría Tio Pepe serves a variety of seafood and other regional dishes along with the typical drink of any Feria: cold fino (sherry).

The Tablao de Carmen was founded in 1988, and features a mix of established and up and coming performers in the Spanish flamenco scene. Two nightly performances last approximately one hour, covering a variety of flamenco styles while individually focusing on the traditional elements of a flamenco performance: the music, song and dance. Ticket packages include the show with drink, tapas or dinner. Special discounts are available for children age 4 - 13 as well as groups. With a reservation in Tablao de Carmen you can enter the exhibition of "Poble Espanyol" for free from 16:00 (4pm) on the day of the show.

Reviews

Such amazing experience. Highly recommend the VIP. Behind the doors to some Amazing history. Owners have the biggest heart and instantly make you feel like family. Best experience! Oh and the food delicious and the sangria! Perfecto! The dancing and singing…made me emotional. A memory we won’t forget!
Loved the experience. The food was good, the show was amazing, we had a good place upstairs but i really think that all seats have a good view. The only thing was that we had a chatty disrespectful group, i do think that making an annoucement and including it on the ticket about being quiet during the show would be beneficial to the performers on stage and the customers. I've been to a jazz dine/show place where they explain this before hand and I think it might help some understand the context that is needed for this type of show. Otherwise it was a real experience and one of my favorite moment about my vacation in barcelona.
My husband and I went to Tablao de Carmen last week while in Barcelona and really enjoyed the experience! We were seated in the balcony but right against the railing so our view was perfect! Service was seamless and the food was very good! So was the sangria! The dancers and musicians were wonderful and energetic! We really enjoyed the show and the culture! We would for sure go again and recommend to anyone visiting Barcelona!
We had a wonderful evening at Tablao de Carmen for their Flamenco Show. The dancers and musicians we really exciting to watch. We had no idea what to expect and we loved the performance. I was surprised in good way with the food and beverages. We received a full bottle of wine and sangria with our meal in additional to an after-dinner liquor. The food was traditional Tapas. We had Patatas Bravas, a tuna salad, chicken croquettes, meatballs, cheeses and olives and some grilled chicken (sorry dont remember the name) with spices that was excellent. Dessert too. If you have never seen a show, Tablao de Carmen is an excellent venue and provides very good service. Our waitress gave us several places to go eat ans things to do. We did several of them and they were on point!
WOW! I really was not expecting this! The venue is quite rustic, and unassuming, but it is home to one of the best and most authentic flamenco shows in Barcelona! The venue is small, and holds probably no more than 100 people, so the view of the show is fantastic, no matter where you are seated! You have your dinner whilst the show is running, which is great, as you have your own table throughout the show, with lots of space around you. The food is good too and very well presented, tasted great, and the service was friendly and fast! The beer and sangria that was included with the meal was also very good. To be honest, i was frankly very surprised at how much i enjoyed this experience! I was definitely not expecting this, and I was pleasantly surprised! Definitely worth a visit! 😀
Highly recommend!!! If you’re in Barcelona and want an evening full of flavor, culture, and soul, then don’t miss Tablao de Carmen. And shame on me for not writing this review sooner. We have been living in Barcelona for two years and have been to this Flamenco show 5 times! We make it a point of bringing all of our visitors here, and it’s always a highlight of their trip. This flamenco show is truly authentic. From the passionate performers who bring the soul of flamenco to life, to the delicious tapas and sangria, this show really creates an unforgettable experience. I also really love how they honor the deep cultural roots of flamenco through its beautiful tribute to the legendary Carmen Amaya. Special shout out to Mimo, the owner, who is so friendly and welcoming to all of her guests. Her warmth and hospitality make you feel like a part of the family. Also, don’t forget that this venue is located in Poble Espanyol, so make sure you arrive an hour or so early and take advantage of the free entry! It’s beautiful!
