Sevilla Flamenco
Posted: Thu January 31, 2008 03:36 AM UTC
We will be in Sevilla for couple of days in early march. We are looking for recommendations for Flamenco shows. We are students and will be staying in the Casa Sol y Luna so price and proximity might be priorities. Will appreciate any help.

In which part of the city are your accomodations? Either way, one of my favorite venues for flamenco was Casa de la Memoria. The show is different every night (with different artists every time) and is pure flamenco, but since the venue is small, it's best to book tickets in advance (it sells out quickly). It's on Ximenez de Enciso street in the Barrio Santa Cruz. It wasn't too expensive - I think it was about 10-15 Euros per ticket. And if you decide to go there, I highly recommend going on a night that Felipe Mato is dancing - he was one of my teachers when I was studying flamenco in Seville, and he is absolutely amazing (one of the best dancers I've ever seen).

Casa Carmen is also a good one, though I preferred Casa de la Memoria. That one is on Marques de Paradas street close to the river.

If you want free flamenco, La Carboneria was one of my favorite places. There is a show at around 11pm every night, but the best part for me was after the show was over - most of the tourists would leave, but the locals and a few tourists would stick around for late-night flamenco jam sessions.

I wrote more details on my Sevilla page, if you want to know more.
