Los Tarantos — Local services in Barcelona

My friends and I were scheduled to leave Barcelona on a cruise so decided to arrive a couple days early to experience a variety of things in Barcelona. A friend who keeps her sailboat there suggested we see the flamingo dancing at this location. I purchased the tickets online and we were all looking forward to a great evening.

Unfortunately we were quite disappointed because the female dancer had a floor length dress on so we could not see the movement of feet and legs.

She never even lifted the dress, which was quite disappointing, because we had gone to see the dancing not the dress. The male dancer was quite talented, and we enjoyed his performance immensely. The acoustic guitar music was also very well done.

One disappointing aspect was the people behind us and next to the sound booth wouldn’t stop talking and no one asked them to please be quiet. So between not being able to actually see the dancing, and the sound disturbance, we felt a bit underwhelmed.

I’m sure that if they have other dancers or if they would at least shorten the dress so you could see the dancing and not just a body moving around in a dress that might be more enjoyable. Hopefully others have a better experience. I almost want to give it three stars but I...

Great show and a very reasonable price of $17 euros. I suggest you get there there half an hour early for good seats up front alternatively the seats  on the side or at the bar will do. If those are taken I'd try to sit on the aisle to get a somewhat view of the dancers. I got there late and stood in the back by the sound booth. A lot of people are recording on the phones blocking the view for everyone which is annoying, but unavoidable.

Drinks are reasonably priced too with the bartender speaking English. I think I spent 6 euro on a gin and soda with a euro tip to the friendly bartender. They're more a beer and wine place but have some basic mixed drinks.

The music was superb and the dancers simply amazing. It was a short 30 minute show. Be sure to leave a tip. They sell DVDs too which I'm sure goes to the performers but I don't know anyone buying physical media these days.

I picked this one because I didn't want a production with dinner and was looking for something short with great dancers and music. Next time I'm in Barcelona I'll be...
