Tablao Flamenco Marbella

Watching the flamenco dancers was nothing short of extraordinary and such a deeply visceral experience.Their skill was breathtaking. But what truly set them apart was the passion they carried onto the stage. You could feel it in the intensity of their expressions. There was nothing performative, it felt deeply authentic, as though they weren’t just dancing but telling a story. The raw emotion, the dialogue between dancer and musician. It was a truly memorable night and I would highly recommend if visiting Marbella.

Excellent and very professional show! We saw flamenco few times and were skeptical as to whether its just another tourist trap. But dancers were real masters, ladies and especially young gentleman, so we enjoyed the experience. Music and signing was great too.

This show touched our hearts! The artistry and emotion that these five artists put in this show is a privilege to see. We felt lucky to witness the flamenco duende...they created this magic moment that we will never forget.
Thank you to these brilliant artists for giving their all and taking our breaths away.

From start to finish, they delivered. The moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the warm glow of the lights and a vibe that’s both elegant and relaxed — the perfect spot for a special night out or a chilled evening with friends.

The drinks — sangría and cocktails — hit just the right balance between traditional and creative. Our server was friendly, attentive, and clearly loved what they were doing, which added to the overall experience.

The live flamenco show later on really elevated the evening: passionate, skilled, and atmospheric — it felt like being immersed in true Andalusian culture.

I would absolutely come back — or recommend it to anyone visiting Marbella.

Raw traditional, extremely traditional...

I booked a show at this restaurant at 09.00 pm to have time to have dinner at our hotel because in the price of the ticket of the show you have a free drink.

We arrived at the restaurant 30 minutes before the starting time of the show. I have to tell you, the restaurant is placed on a very crowded road, especially during evenings, thousands of tourists walking all over the road. So if you plan to go there by taxi you have to consider the driver will take you only to a certain point, well before the restaurant. But some of them, very skilled ones, will sneak through the crowd, at a speed of maximum 1 mile per hour or 2km/h for europeans, slowly than you were walking.

The taxi driver who took us there was very professional and was driving at 2,5 mph, crazy!!!, through the angry (sometimes) crowd. But we were in time. You have to be there 30 minutes before start time, be advise.

At the entrance, there is an young lady who checks your ticket and asks about what you want to drink. Then you are invited to wait outside, at a table and a gentleman brings you the drinks you ordered.

The place were the show is held has no windows so you can't see inside. Then 10 minutes before the start time you are invited in. There is the firs impression, of the inside: it is very, very traditional, like an old pub. There are, I think, maximul 30 places, so the show it is somehow a little bit private, sensation amplified by the space which is not very generous. The performers are so close to the audience you can hear their breathing during dancing so small is the place.

There are no rows, the chairs are aligned along the wall of the room and there are no tables to put your drinks but there are some metal supports, very ingenious created to hold your glass of drink.

There are 5 performers: 2 women and 3 men. One of the man is singing at a guitar, one vocal and the other one is a dancer. There are 5 dances in all show, very long dances, performed individually or in group.

The dances are very, very, very intense. I've never seen something like that, so much passion, entuziasm and professionalism put in a dance. At a moment I had the impression that the wooden floor is going to break and the dancer will fall in the basement.

I don't know if those were modern flamenco dances, looks like, and if they were than they were the very raw of flamenco, the "great grand mother" of flamenco, with a subtile touch of gypsy dance style. For the eye, it was a pleasure, something unique.

Not to mention the tap rate, the speed the dancer are tapping, will send Fred Astaire to the begging classes. Some times, they are dancing so intense I have the sensation of hearing an M250 light machine gun firing. It was very intense.

There were also some solo guitar moments. It wasn't what I expected, something very light, commercial, with rhythm to tap or to clap your hands. There was something very profound, extremely professional, transmitting a feeling of hard life, pain and sensation of fighting with the unfair ways of human existence. You will hear a lot of gypsy musical chord, embedded in every song. Just close your eyes and feel the music.

As I said the performers are extremely close to the audience so, sometimes the sound of the shoes hitting the floor could be very loud. But, it is part of the show and it could be very fascinating.

The show develops in a very low light, and combined with the ceiling very low, the arrangement of the chair, the pictures on the wall and the air inside you might have the sensation of an old inn, old pub.

At the end of the show you are invited to have pictures with the protagonists, if you want. But be advised, after such an effort they are sweat, if you don't bother.

I recommend absolutely this show if you want to see something authentic, something you rarely can see. It is a must see if you want to approach, just for a few moments, to the spanish old basic tradition more from countryside.
