Loved the show. Beautiful venue. The horses were the superstars. So graceful.
The seats were uncomfortable as there is no back support but the performance was worth it. The VIP seats are the same and equally uncomfortable… they are just the first two rows.
Everyone has assigned seats. So there is no need to go and queue up early as the entry starts only 10 minutes before the show.
The flamenco performers were too far for us to see them but the horses were all over the arena. So that was excellent.

I am truly appalled by your harsh training and riding of such beautiful horse all for a ‘show’
Not the kind of show...

9pm show with Premium seats. Stumbled upon this show on a weekday. A little torn as to if the Premium seats are worth it. Pros: Access the stables early to see the horses and trainers getting ready from 630-8 and the skip the line entry at 830 was convenient. Cons: it appeared the show was designed from the view at the end of the arena where the standard seats were so for the flamenco dancer we got a lot of side and back of the dancer but her front was towards the general seats. For the horses the formations seemed cool but were better seen from general...
