Embrace Flamenco’s Diverse Dance Styles

Booking a dinner and dance show at El Templo Del Flamenco provides guests with the unique opportunity to experience both the rich history and rhythmic nature of Flamenco styles. On any given visit, you’ll see many types of dance, from the traditional and classic Flamenco to the graceful and exotic Guajira to the profound and festive Soleá.

These dances are performed in a Flamenco 'cuadro', an ensemble of one or several dancers, singers and guitarists a dancer or dancers (bailaores/bailaoras), a singer or singers (cantaor/cantaora), a guitarist or guitarists (guitarrista), and sometimes a percussionist or other musicians. This collaborative group creates a narrative of dance, song (cante flamenco), and music central to the Flamenco tradition.

Seeing a Flamenco dance show is an immersive experience that delights the senses and stirs the soul. The intensity of this art form is felt through the dancers and the emotion conveyed through each movement and gesture. The expression in this vibrant dance embodies a wide range of feelings, from joy and triumph to sadness and despair, making each performance a personal journey for the artisans and the audience.

Enjoy a Traditional Tapas Dinner, Drinks and Dessert

Once you arrive, you’ll be escorted to your table, where you’ll partake in a curated selection of traditional tapas- small savory dishes that offer a taste of Andalusia's finest culinary traditions. Tapas, meaning small plates, are designed to be shared informally amongst friends, family, and acquaintances and enjoyed with a fine wine or robust beer. El Templo Del Flamenco guests can enjoy a variety of traditional Andalusian tapas. All tapas selections are hand-crafted with a focus on fresh and local ingredients.

Tapas have a long and rich history in Spain, and the stories about their origins are as intriguing as those of the small plates. Some say that King Alfonso X, ‘The Wise’ in the 13th century, required that tapas be served with alcohol so that those who imbibed would remain sober. Others say the practice was born out of necessity in the 13th century as a practical solution to keep drinks free from dust and insects. Bar keeps would cover the top of a glass with a flat item, such as a slice of bread, salami, or cheese, serving as a lid and a snack. Regardless of their origin, tapas are a delicious way to experience a diverse selection of Spanish fare.

Explore Flamenco History and Culture

Flamenco, steeped in history since the 14th century, is an interplay of dance, song, guitar, and percussion. As an art form, it reflects the confluence of various cultures over generations, blending movement with music and art with tradition. Flamenco embodies a deep cultural heritage and passionate spirit, creating an awe-inspiring experience that captivates audiences with its intensity and emotion.

With humble beginnings, Flamenco is believed to have been cultivated in southern Spain in Andalusia and Murcia, where the Romani people in close-knit communities performed it. Over time, Flamenco has been recognized as a world cultural treasure. With UNESCO’s 2010 acknowledgment as part of the World’s Intangible Cultural Heritage, Flamenco gained global recognition for its cultural significance and contribution to humanity's diverse heritage.

Experience the Unique Cavern-Like Ambiance

El Templo Del Flamenco is set in a series of caves or caverns. The central area where the performance takes place features a 'tablao,’ or stage, the traditional performance platform. The tablao is surrounded by smaller caverns with tables and chairs that provide the perfect vantage points to enjoy the show. The recently renovated cave-like space has excellent acoustics and dramatic theatrical lighting, heightening the Flamenco experience. El Templo Del Flamenco is considered one of the best venues in Granada.
