Tablao El Cardenal

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
