Torres Bermejas

Torres Bermejas began under the name La Taberna Gitana, one of the first tablaos to emerge on the Madrid flamenco scene in 1949.  The Taberna offered afternoon an evening flamenco shows and enjoyed it's peak in 1956-7 under the direction of the flamenco singer Mariano Sevilla. Sadly it was forced to close only a year later in 1958.  Two years later after extensive renovations the tablao reopened under the name Torres Bermejas with a distinct decor.

The entire venue was created as a reproduction of the salas, or halls, of the Alhambra in Granada.   In the early years Torres Bermejas welcomed a long list of famous flamenco artists such as El Güito, Niño Ricardo, Mario Maya, Chato de la Isla and Manolo Caracol. Later Torres Bermejas became famous as being the only tablao in which Camarón de la Isla performed. It was also here where Camarón de la Isla first met Paco de Lucía.  Each year thousands of fans and admirers of Camarón, including national and international celebrities, come to Torres Bermejas in Madrid for a show and to see where he performed.   

Located in the center of Madrid just of the Gran Via and close to the Plaza Callao, Torres Bermejas offers flamenco shows with options for drinks or several seasonal fixed price dinner menus. Inside the ornate ceilings, walls and woodwork in the style of the Alhambra provide a unique atmosphere in which to enjoy a flamenco performance with dinner and drinks.  The show covers several different styles of flamenco, from soleá to alegría, siguiriya and martinete. Performed by a group comprised of twenty artists: singers, dancers and guitarists, all who come to the stage with national and international reputations in the flamenco world.
