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

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!
We had a great time. Poble Espanyol in itself is very beautiful, and we enjoyed a nice walk before the dinner. It adds up to the entire experience. when we arrived, we were very nicely greeted and welcomed and had a nice table, close to the stage. We had very good sangria and enjoyed the tasting menu. I must say that the food is A LOT, we couldn't eat the entire thing. Some dishes were very very tasty, but the main event was the flamenco show. I must say, that these artists are very talented and gave us a terrific show. We had a great time and enjoyed the concept. we recommend thsi experience.
Our visit was a special treat for family members. Our sheets were perfect. The food (my vegetarian request honored and non-vegetarians enjoyed their meals as well), service excellent and the dancers passionate. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and highly recommend it.
This was a perfect dinner and show combination. Great for kids and adults. Getting access to the Spanish city with the dinner was a plus for amazing shopping and live music. My kids ages 5/7/2 all loved the meal and entertainment. Sangria was delicious and the server was so kind and professional. 10/10 would recommend and especially to those with families.
Absolutely fantastic. I treated myself to the star experience— and it was absolutely worth it. Not only did I get an overwhelming amount of delicious food, I also got the best seat in the house, fantastic wine, and a tour from the owner - which was so great. Everyone was incredibly kind. The performance was fantastic. Recommend for any flamenco lovers or anyone looking to have a lovely evening in Barcelona. My only regret, I left my little welcome gift at the table. I blame 3 glasses of wine and a slight food coma. Guess I will have to plan another trip. Thank you to the whole staff for a lovely evening.
What a magical experience! From the moment we arrived, we we greeted with warmth and pride. The food was fantastic and they managed my multiple food allergies with ease. But it was the artists' energy that was really special. You could feel their emotion with every movement and word that was sung. We got to meet the owner, and it happened to be her birthday! She was the kindest host, sharing the history of Tablao de Carmen and her connection to Carmen Amaya. This was such a special experience for us, and something we will never forget!
