We bought joint tickets for museum and the show. If doing again I would only do the show, as found it spectacular whereas the museum was less my learning style.
The museum is five rooms, four of which are TV and one has costumes. There are no signs, and though great for those liking to learn by video we didn’t come away any more knowledgeable about flamenco than when we went in, though in fairness we only spent about 10 minutes as I am more reading than video oriented. Also note if you go when another show is underway it can be pretty loud in some parts of the museum.
The show was phenomenal. It included three dancers, a guitarist, and two singers - and all were spectacular performers for the 55 minute show. We felt the older audience perhaps didn't appreciate it as much, but the footwork, musicality, and performances were great.
If you care about which seats you get for the flamenco show (as first come first serve) I would recommend getting to the show 30-45 minutes early as our 19;00 Sunday show had the doors open 45 minute before (when we arrived as already at the museum), 30 minutes before starting about 20 seats were marked as reserved and 20-30 others now seated (not quite half full). Almost all seats were taken by 15-20 minutes before starting, and a full house by 10 minutes before.
We found the best seats to be in the front row corner(or perhaps on the sides) as you can see everything and the footwork without needing to move your neck back and forth (as would if in the centre).
They had a bar if wanting to arrive early and have a drink. It was o wine and decent sangria at a reasonable price.
Toilets are clean.

Read moreWe went to the Flamenco show and it was absolutely stunning. I researched quite a bit before going and decided for this show. It was the perfect choice, here's why: the performers are absolutely top-notch! Singers with amazing voices, wonderful dancers, great passion and the energy they shared made the experience very special. A great mix of songs also! we saw a large number of performers (3 in the "band", 3 dancers) and got to see a mix of different dancers (also male) which was more interesting than watching a single dancer. beautiful atmosphere and intimate vibe because of the beautiful room and the relatively small number of guests the performers are set up on a stage, which means you see them from a bit below and from all sides. All performers are visible very well from the different spots in the room. photos and videos are not allowed which makes the experience so much better. Everyone is very engaged and there are no screens in front of your view.
Overall, this was a beautiful, authentic experie ce and a highlight of our trip! Absolutely recommend coming here for the...
