The Flamenco Biennial is about to start in September, one of the most famous flamenco art festivals in the world, held every two years in Seville. If you can't travel to Seville in September, here are some flamenco performances recommended by locals in Spain. Due to character limitations, this post will introduce flamenco venues in Madrid first. 📍 Corral de la Morería Opened in 1956, this place is very famous and has been visited by many celebrities. It is located next to the Royal Palace of Madrid and is the only Michelin-starred Tablao in the world. They often have different star artists performing, and their choreography has even won the National Flamenco Award. They often invite children on stage after the performance to see behind the scenes, so it's highly recommended for kids. 💶 Starting from 49 euros 📍 Cardamomo Tablao Opened in 1996, located in the city center of Madrid, with basically four shows daily featuring 10 artists. Many famous national and international artists and talented young dancers perform here.
