Flamenco Show in the Villa Rosa Tablao

Tablao Villa-Rosa and its artists

The tablao Villa-Rosa, established in 1911 where an old chocolate mill once stood, is one of the capital’s Flamenco sanctuaries. Inspired by Islamic architecture, the establishment has carved arches and painted tiles, where world-famous cantaores (singers), guitarristas (guitar players) and bailaores (dancers) have performed. Some of the most renowned have been Fernanda de Utrera, Lola Flores, Imperio Argentina, Juanito Valderrama, Juan Varea, Miguel de Molina, Antonio Mairena, Antonio Arenas, José Antonio Díaz Fernández "Chaquetón" and Pepe Marchena.

Since its opening, the Villa-Rosa’s performances have been so acclaimed that dignitaries such as Alfonso XIII of Spain, the bohemian Hemingway or the American actress and singer, Ava Gardner have been guests at the tablao. The Villa-Rosa has also appeared in Almodóvar’s melodrama “High Heels”.

Nowadays, the Villa-Rosa still offers very high-quality shows on a daily basis, with renowned artists such as Marco Flores, Irene la Sentío and Inmaculada Aranda.

The performances, which are always one-hour long, are highly-expressive, sensual and full of color. It is truly a memorable experience!

Show and dinner

The tablao Villa-Rosa also offers delicious traditional Spanish cuisine, so guests can have dinner while they enjoy a unique and passionate Flamenco show.  The 4-course meal consists of an appetizer: Spanish ham “croquetas” accompanied by the finest Iberian ham and cold cuts. Then, you will be served a typical “tortilla española” (Spanish omelette) with “pimientos de padrón” (padrón peppers) and then a classic paella. The menu also includes bread, a beverage, coffee and a traditional liquor.

If you prefer to eat something different, you can ask for something else. Children aged less than 9 years old don’t have dinner included.
