Flamenco Show BarcelonaTablao Flamenco Cordobés: Barcelona's 1970 Tablao
Sold and operated by Tablao Flamenco Cordobes Barcelona; booked and paid through GetYourGuide. We may earn a commission if you book through our link, at no extra cost to you. Price and details checked August 2026.
Tablao Flamenco Cordobés Barcelona has stood on La Rambla since 1970, run by the same family of artists, and in 2025 the Flamenco School of Andalusia named it Best Tablao in the World. The room holds 120 people and nobody uses a microphone, which is the single reason this ticket costs more than a theatre seat and the single reason it is worth it. It sits mid-range among the six flamenco shows in Barcelona compared here.

Quick answer Why the acoustic room costs more, and whether dinner is worth it
Cordobés is the room the flamenco world takes seriously in Barcelona: family-run since 1970, Best Tablao in the World 2025, and performed acoustically to a maximum of 120 people. The seat costs €48 with a drink. Dinner is the decision to make before you book, because it has to be bought in advance and it changes both the price and where you sit.
Key takeaways
- Founded 1970; Camarón de la Isla and Farruco played this stage
- No microphones, so the cante and the footwork reach you unprocessed
- The €38 buffet includes unlimited wine, beer, sangría, cava and coffee during dinner
- Dinner guests get preferential seating, which in a 120-seat room is a real difference
- Photography is banned until an announced photo moment in the last five minutes
- Next door, El Duende is the same family in a smaller, cheaper room
What the Ticket Buys
One drink, a seat in a room of 120, and a full company of professional artists working without amplification.
The artists
The programme rotates award-winning names from the touring circuit: Jesús Carmona, José Maya, Alfonso Losa and Belén López are among those the venue lists. This is not a resident cast doing the same set nightly for tourists; it is the same circuit that plays Madrid and Seville.
The room's history is not decoration either. Camarón de la Isla, the most important flamenco singer of the twentieth century, performed on this stage, as did the dancer Farruco.
Why no microphones matters
An unamplified show is only possible in a small room, and it changes what you hear. The heel on wood, the palmas, the crack in the singer's voice all arrive directly rather than through a mixing desk. Once you have heard it this way, the amplified theatre version sounds like a recording of a performance rather than the performance.
One reviewer put the practical version of this well: the venue is small, which is great for the acoustic, and almost every seat has a good view compared with other shows.
The decor is genuinely old work
The Nasrid plasterwork and tiling were made by the master restorers who work on the Alhambra in Granada. It is the reason the room photographs the way it does, and it is why the venue can talk about atmosphere without sounding like a brochure.
Buffet, Tapas or Neither
Three ways to book this venue, and the price gap between them is larger than the price gap between most venues on this site.
Show only, €48
A seat and one drink. If you have dinner plans elsewhere, this is the right booking, and the Gothic Quarter behind the venue is full of better places to eat than any set menu.
Spanish tasting buffet, €38 on top
Over 40 Spanish and Catalan dishes with unlimited wine, beer, sangría, cava, soft drinks and coffee during dinner, plus two tapas brought to the table, served upstairs in the Alhambra-style dining room looking over La Rambla, cooked by chef Jordi Narro. Vegan, vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, lactose-free and nut-free versions are available.
The arithmetic works if you were going to eat and drink out that evening anyway. Unlimited drinks alone accounts for a good part of the €38, and the preferential seating is worth something in a room this size.
Tapas, €21 on top
A lighter service from 16:30: Iberian cured meats, local cheeses, Spanish specialities and one drink, also with preferential seating. It suits an early show and a late dinner elsewhere.
Whichever you choose, buy it when you book. The venue states plainly that dinner cannot be added on arrival.
Who This Room Suits
The clearest yes and the clearest no of any venue compared here.
Book it if
You want the art rather than a night out, you would rather sit close than sit cheap, or you are travelling with someone who knows flamenco and will notice the difference between a microphone and none. It is also the safest booking for a special occasion, because the dinner package and the preferential seating turn it into a full evening rather than an hour.
Book something else if
You are bringing a child under 4, who will not be admitted, or you use an electric wheelchair, which the venue cannot accommodate, although strollers and non-motorised wheelchairs are fine through a lift with a 70 cm door.
If you want the same standard of artist in a cheaper, looser room, El Duende next door is run by the same family. If you want the food to be the main event, Tablao de Carmen serves dinner at your table facing the stage.
Where It Is
La Rambla 35, halfway down the promenade between Plaça de Catalunya and the port, two minutes from Liceu metro.
All six venues are mapped on the flamenco show Barcelona homepage.
Questions About This Show
Is Tablao Cordobés worth the price?
If the acoustic show matters to you, yes: €48 buys a seat in a 120-person room with no amplification and artists from the touring circuit, which is a different product from a theatre ticket at half the price. If you mainly want an hour of flamenco while in Barcelona, the theatre shows do that for less.
Should I add the dinner at Tablao Cordobés?
The €38 buffet pays for itself if you were going to eat and drink out that night, because drinks during dinner are unlimited and the preferential seating is genuinely better. The €21 tapas option is a lighter add-on with the same seating benefit. Both must be bought when you book, not on arrival.
How long is the show at Tablao Cordobés?
The listing runs 70 to 135 minutes depending on what you book: the show alone is around 70 minutes, and the longer figure covers dinner served before the curtain.
Can you take photos at Tablao Cordobés?
Not during the show. The venue announces a photo moment in the final five minutes when guests are welcome to take pictures and video, which is a reasonable compromise in a room where silence is part of the product.
Is Tablao Cordobés accessible?
Strollers and non-motorised wheelchairs are accommodated through a lift with a door width of 70 cm and a car of 90 by 90 cm. Electric wheelchairs are not allowed. Children under 4 are not admitted.
Where is Tablao Cordobés?
La Rambla 35, between the Liceu and Drassanes metro stations, with La Boqueria market a few minutes north. El Duende, run by the same family, is right next door.
What Travellers Said

My family really enjoyed the dinner buffet and the authentic flamenco performance with dancing and singing. The costumes were gorgeous.
Great show! Flamenco dancers and musicians were very talented. Would recommend.
