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

Even though the location is not really close to the city centre, but it is well worth it. Because there was a change to our initial booking, the restaurant make it up by putting us up front to the stage, companied with ham and cava. The show was really something. Explosive and captivating. My kids enjoyed it tremendously. Food was great as well. I would strongly recommend this place! You should check it out definitely.
Unforgettable experience. It was very emotional and authentic. Food was delicious and portions were generous. Recommend to order sangria. It was the best night from all nights in Barcelona where we were seeking authentic Spanish culture and unfortunately it wasn't easy to find! So muchas gracias! 🙏🏼💓
We had an unforgettable evening at Tablao de Carmen! We opted for dinner, and it was well worth it – we were seated right by the stage, giving us an up-close view of the incredibly talented dancers. The energy, the rhythm, and the passion were truly phenomenal, especially feeling the vibrations from the dancers’ footwork. The singing and guitar playing were equally impressive, creating a magical, romantic atmosphere. Service was warm, quick, and efficient, with drinks arriving promptly. The food was fantastic; even my wife, a vegetarian, had a delicious meal. The location is ideal, allowing for a nice stroll afterward to end the night. We’re so glad we chose Tablao de Carmen over other shows. If you’re going, definitely book with dinner – it gives you the best seating and a fantastic meal!
I have booked dinner with the flamenco traditional dance. The show was extraordinary, dancers are passionate and professional. The dinner was ok. If I would go again, I would choose drinks only. The reason for that is because meals are coming one after another so fast, and the time that show lasts fir is not enough to put all that food into the mouth and digest and to concentrate on the show at the same time. My mother, with whome I went, felt sick after.
My husband, 14 yr old daughter and I visited recently for the 6pm show & dinner……we throughly enjoyed the performance as the dancers are so talented as well as the musicians! Food was plentiful and good too. Highly recommend! We also arrived early to walk around the Spanish village stopping in shops and enjoying drinks outdoors. Thanks for the amazing experience!
We enjoyed the lively show and dinner on our first night in Barcelona. Our dinner included tapas, fish or beef and dessert with lots of wine and sangria. Food was yummy. Bonus walking through Poble Espanyol! (umbrella street)
