Tablao El Cardenal

Excellent performance! The music was of high quality and the dancing and overall show was very professional. I have played music professionally for 50+ years and also lived and studied in Jerez de la Frontera, so I feel like I have a solid basis for my assessment.

This was a wonderful show! At first I came a bit skeptical that it would be a tourist trap (knowing I am myself a tourist) but the show was superb: 5 dancers, a singer and a musician, alternating different styles, performances and garments. The sheer energy and passion of the artists was great to witness. Also the venue is great. I would definitely recommend and go back!

This spot is truly something special. From the moment you arrive, the beautiful courtyard sets the tone—peaceful, charming, and the perfect place to relax before the show. There’s also a small gift shop with unique items, and the staff couldn’t be friendlier—welcoming and warm all around. What really makes this experience stand out is the performance itself. The artists clearly care deeply about their craft—you can feel the love, soul, and passion in every moment. It’s intimate, moving, and unforgettable. If you’re in the area and want a meaningful, authentic cultural experience, this is a must. Absolutely loved it!

Excellent show, entrancing The guitar playing, dancing, costumes, and singing were very entertaining, non stop for 90 minutes. The seats are up close and personal, you get a real sense of the energy that goes into the performance.

This was absolutely amazing. Over 1 hour of Flamenco music and dance with extremely talented musicians, singers, and dancers. So intense and emotional that you forget where you're during the entire show. This also takes place inside one of Córdoba's typical patios. I'd definitely recommend it.

A really good show. Thoroughly enjoyed it. A very intimate experience with a great atmosphere. The singer, guitarist and dancers all appeared to be very engaged on stage😊

What an experience! This was my first time going to a flamenco show and it didn’t disappoint. Very talented and passionate dancers and musicians and a lovely atmosphere. The drink included in the price was a nice touch. Would recommend to do whilst in Cordoba!

Excellent show and your ticket will include a drink. The seating arrangement is very tight.

What a spectacular show! The dancers were so talented. Wait staff were very attentive and were bilingual enough to understand our English. A highlight of our trip!

I really loved the Flamenco show! The dancers are so talented, couldn’t believe my eyes. Would really recommend going here!

Mucho Arte! An amazing show, must see if you are in Cordoba

Energy..... From the solo guitar to the solo dancers and everything in between. The performance shows their passion towards the art of Flamenco Get there early, grab a drink and enjoy

Authentic and fascinating. Fast-paced, and the soloists were superb.

Fantastic show from professionals. Not to be missed if you are in Cordoba. They also speak English in the desk/reception, so you can communicate very easily. Which is not a given in many other establishments in Spain. Congratulations to all the artists.

Great flamenco show! Me and my wife enjoyed every second of it.

So I've never seen a Flamenco show but my husband has. We both thoroughly enjoyed this and we had the pleasure of experiencing the performance. It was fun, lovely music and very talented dancers. 100% worth it. A beverage it included in the price.

Throughly enjoyed this 80-min flamenco show - the dancers and the singer were fantastic but the guitarist in particular delivered some outstanding strumming! Recommend buying your ticket online, one with the offer of a drink included. The staff at the Tablao are super attentive and very well organized.

My second time to El Cardenal and it is still so immersive and captivating. Highly recommended to complete your experience in Cordoba. It’s a lovely and intimate setting to enjoy the performance. The singer and guitarist are spectacular.

We liked the show a lot! But the "90 minute show" was already over after a bit more than an hour, how can this be? Please stay honest or if there is a reason then tell the audience.

If you wish to see the best in traditional Flamenco, this is not to be missed. It is very beautiful! If at all possible, buy your tickets in advance. The earlier that you buy the tickets, the better your seating, all of the seats are great...

Wow! This was an amazing show and overall wonderful experience. I’ve been to see flamenco in Granada, and it cannot compare. From the entrance, drinks, seats, dancers, music, everything was wonderful. The performers were professional, talented, passionate, and seemed to enjoy what they were doing. I would go back again and 100% recommend.

Excellent show with high-quality guitarist, singer, and dancers. The staff was very agreeable and helped us get a cab for our way back to our apartment. Definitely buy a ticket in advance - the place was nearly full on a Monday night, and don't count on walk-up availability.

I booked via Get your Guide and drink was included,I chose Sangria and it was the worst Sangria ever,they mixed it with orange juice and it seemed like I was drinking an orange juice.Dancers were not so emotional neither the guitarist.I have seen much better dancers and singers.Even dancers on piazza de Espana in Seville were much more better and it was free.Never again

It was really easy to book and pay online. I stayed home all day as I wasn’t feeling well and decided to do something in the evening to make the day not pass by without something. It was a good choice! I took my two daughters and we had a blast. I left feeling inspired to learn some history to Flamenco dancing and having learnt that I reflected on the show with greater appreciation so maybe if you don’t know anything like me read up about it before you go. The female vocalist was very good. I just wish I understood Spanish so that I could appreciate further the emotions. I found the group to have great chemistry together which was nice. Lots of energy. I don’t know why I thought the performers would be younger, but I think it’s nice that they are mostly mature, I think it adds to the ‘cultural’ feeling. Also I’m not sure how the seating works. I would have payed more if I could have chosen seats at the front. We were at the back. However my little girls were given tall stools to sit and have a better view which was good. The stage is small and the seating is intimate, I think it has a beautiful setting! If you want to get out in the evening I definitely recommend this. Beautiful

Exceptional. More than one hour of breathtaking Flamenco. So far, our most memorable experience in Spain. The price is not excessive (23€, half than Madrid's, with a drink, a glass of wine, or else) Visiting Cordoba without seeing this show would be a pity. Try to be seated in the front row. This is important. One negative point though, we were allowed to take photos but not videos, which is too bad as videos are the best means to remember or trips. I wish they had allowed us (nevertheless, I saw many people in the audience taking videos).

A very beautiful but sanitized form of flamenco, designed to entertain tourists. In comparison to the "cuevas" flamenco in Granada, this is a watered down version. Visually pleasing though.

Amazing flamenco show in a beautiful open air setting

This show was the third show we saw in three days. One in Jerez, one in Seville and this one, Tablao Flamenco el Cardenal in Cordoba. There are other shows in Cordoba but this was the only one on the night we wanted that had a front row table. We arrived and joined the line. We prepaid at the hotel so we just handed our voucher and were offered a drink at the bar which is at next to the ticket taker. We were then seated in what was formally the large internal garden of a house years ago. The rest of the tourists were seated and the show began. The singer and guitarist started. They were joined by a dancer. She was joined by two more dancers. Then there was a solo male dancer and he was then joined by one female at the end it was all hands on deck. The show was good. Not the best we saw but good. The guitarist was the best guitarist we had seen of the past two shows mentioned above. The show allows taking phots and videos which is what elevated them from a 3 to a 4-star review. I feel it is essential that you are allowed to leave with the experience recorded wither in video or stills for your future memories. Especially if it was a good show. Cordoba has many flamenco shows and this is one located in the historical section of the city a short 10 minute walk from our hotel. If you want a show and dinner, I suggest looking into the flamenco show in the Juderia, the old Jewish section of the town. We were told it’s a good show. Hopefully I’ll be back to try that location in the future.

You know that they do this every night, but you see how much they enjoy their performance. They really take you on a journey. Great evening! It would be so much better though without the pizza- and other snacks smacking visitors.

Wasn’t really sure what to expect (especially if you’re from outside of Spain) this is a fantastic traditional flamenco show. Music singing and dancing is amazing 🤩 this show is a must see if you’re in beautiful Cordoba. Highly recommended.

Passionate and Professional - great guitarist, singer, and dancers. First class - don't miss it!

I'm no flamenco expert but good show. Started on time too. Sour includes a free drink and accomodating staff too. Kids welcome. We went with our 7 and 5 year old. Both thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Wow. just wow. Incredible performance. I could not recommend highly enough. Lovely atmosphere and didn't feel touristy at all. Felt very authentic.

Amazing experience, awsome setting ! Unlike other Flamenco performances we've seen in the past this is almost a like a show with multiple performers and routines. Everyone from the guitarist , singer and the dancers were great ! All extremely talented and clearly passionate ! We visited on our first evening in Cordoba and the Flamenco at El Cardenal got us started with a bang !! Two thumbs UP !!!! Check em out

The show is wonderful, great passion and energy from the dancers. Highly recommended if you are in cordoba

Great performance by the guitarist (effortless playing), the singer (providing intensity) and of course the dancers. The show was 1h30min. Great way to unwind in the evening, even if you're travelling alone, or with a group. Very recommended.

Awesome flamenco show, great variety of dancers and song types, good value tickets including drink upon arrival. Only issue was one toilet for all customers.

The show was shorter than I thought, but sublime. The gitarist, singer and dancers were great. Loved the show and recommend it
