Not all Flamenco shows are equal and some of them can just feel like you watched a dance show. But Flamenco is supposed to tell a story, theres a certain rhythm that needs to be followed. 

A great Flamenco show should have you immersed from start to finish. You should be drawn in with the initial music, then the singing as it all builds up to the mixture of all things Flamenco. 

The Gran Gala Flamenco show has all the hallmarks of being an entertaining,  emotional journey that will leave a mark on the Madrid Flamenco scene.

Tradition meets innovation here, with a contemporary twist that still respects the ancient origins of Flamenco .

How to Get There

The EDP theatre is a short walk from Plaza De Espana, but there are many metro stops close by. Santa Domingo, Callao, Noviciado are all within a five minute walk to the theatre. 

I would always advise walking there if you have the time. You’ll have the chance to see the Royal Palace, the Sabbatini Gardens, Plaza de Espana and many other popular sights just a short walk from the theatre.
