The New York Times says that the Tablao Flamenco El Arenal in Seville “is the best place in the world to feel the emotions of Flamenco Art”, and many people in Seville think the same.
Sevillians and visitors from all around the world have been able to discover in our Tablao Flamenco El Arenal in Seville the magic of an art categorized as World Heritage, the Flamenco Art.
El Tablao Flamenco El Arenal is located in the historical and cultural centre of Seville, in the El Arenal neighbourhood, between the Maestranza de Sevilla bullring and the Maestranza Theatre, a few meters from the Giralda, Seville Cathedral and the Torre del Oro.
A show drinking from pure flamenco roots, with a full hour of art that will leave you breathless. With renowned artists from the city in all their varieties: dancing, singing and flamenco guitar.
Feel the thrill of pure flamenco with a glass of wine, some delicious tapas or having a wonderful dinner, as we offer a menu with carefully prepared traditional Andalusian haute cuisine dishes. The perfect marriage between Seville, its gastronomy and its flamenco art.
Curro Vélez was born in 1934 in Triana, birthplace of famous bullfighters and stars of flamenco singing and dancing.
Curro Vélez, pure race all around, grew up among the greats of flamenco. He was attracted by this art and when he earned his first pesetas (old Spanish coin), he invested them in dance lessons with the famous flamenco master from Seville: Enrique “El Cojo”.
At the age of 15 he appeared for the first time in public at the Hotel Cristina, which at that time had the most famous flamenco tablao in Seville. Under the skilled direction of “El cojo” and helped by the intuition of his own race, Curro Vélez was developing his art to become one of the most promising values of flamenco.
Shortly after his debut he became part of the ballet of Pilar López, as a partner.
Then he left to America where he acted as the first dancer in the ensembles of Carmen Amaya, Antonio, Sabicas and José Greco.
Back in Spain, Manolo Caracol, one of the greatest flamenco artists of this century, presented him in his famous tablao “Los Canasteros”, in Madrid.
In 1964, together with Manuela Vargas, he appeared at the World Exhibition in New York and at the Paris Festival.
In 1966, he toured with Luisa Ortega and Arturo Pavón as a solo dancer, at the end of which he decided to become independent.
Curro showed his talent for flamenco dance, directing and presenting the most complicated and innovative choreographies.
With his show “Fiesta Gitana”he performed in Paris, at the Theatre des Champs-Elysées, for two consecutive seasons and then toured Holland and Belgium. Also he performed triumphantly in Rome as one of the leading figures of flamenco for his brilliant technique and his magnificent rhythmic expression.

Magnifique spectacle Les tapas très suffisant pour un repas
Easy booking online with payment. For around 70 euros you get a drink with 6 course meal and a great flamenco show. The food was great. Luckily we went with tapas menu since there was plenty and we were full! Flamenco show was top notch, great singers and dancers. The venue is not the biggest and is traditional and not overcrowded which we liked. We arrived at 6pm for dinner and the show was at 7pm. It was over around 8pm I think which was great because we then walked about 10-15 minutes to reach the La Setas for 9pm entry.
A totally wonderful evening! The food was excellent,the show fantastic and the management went out of their way to make it a memorable birthday for my wife. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is a real treat in Seville!
Loved the food and entertainment
Lugar super agradável e show de flamenco magnífico ,com destaque para a bailaora Cristina Aguilera maravilhosa!

If you ever visit Seville going to this flamenco show is definitely a must. We deserved the package with a drink (no meal) and left in awe after witnessing such an amazing performance. Def recommend the sangria, it is delicious and one of tastiest I’ve tried in Seville

Fantastic!
The show and food were great
As tapas parecem um jantar, super bem servidos. O show é um espetáculo, flamenco super autêntico. Amei a experiência 😍
Un esperienza unica... 🤗
Went with 5 people for the show + 1 free drink each. It was unfortunate they do not serve some peanuts or olivas with the drinks. It was a great show and special applause for the flamenco male dancer who was very smiling and a great dancer. It is sad we could not take photos during the show or even at the end. We saw the male dancer outside of the building at the end but could not recognize him without his flamenco clothes lol They could have take the opportunity to let us to take with the dancers even if we have to pay for it. Anyways, an attraction to do before leaving Sevilla !
Booked tickets in advance for Flamenco and a drink. Well worth the experience!
Highly recomended very nice show and no tone to relax as that performance will stay with for long time !
عرض استثنائي ممتع لابعد درجة تحتاج تجي بدري للعرض عشان تجلس بمكان كويس عندهم عشاء لكن ما تعشينا فيه الافضل انك تجي قبل العرض بوقت تتعشى وبعدها يبداء عراضك بيكون يوم استثنائي لك صدقي شوي غالي المكان
We bought this dinner cum performance bundle in advance. Once we sat down at 6, the foods were served. The starter and appetiser were quite good, especially the fried hake fish cube and fried vege. But the main was mediocre. I ordered the tenderloin medium. The meat was rather chewy and dry. Double thumbs up for the performance. It lasted 1 hour and was really intense and heart throbbing. 5 stars for the performance and 3 for the food.
Estuvimos el día 13, reservamos el show y las tapas, cuando reservamos nos pareció caro pero merece más que la pena ir a verlo. La cena espectacular y el show increíble
Buenisimo! El show de flamenco incluye una gran variedad de estilos de flamenco! La comida estaba también deliciosa. Recomendado!
We did the dinner and flamenco. Highly recommend. Come hungry and thirsty. Some of the best dancing we have seen in Spain. Reservation recommended
はじめてのフラメンコを見たが、素晴らしさに圧倒された。特に男性の激しい動きとキレのある動きに魅了された。タパス付きで申し込んだが量は十分にありお腹いっぱいになる。とにかく一度足を運ぶ価値あり。日本語が少し理解できるスタッフもいる。
Eten was OK, maar heel gehaast, aangezien ze klaar wouden zijn voor het optreden begon. Daardoor niet van het eten kunnen genieten, maar de show was het waard: heel goed, typisch Spaans, optreden!! Aan te raden om dan misschien gewoon met enkel drankje te doen
Best show ever
Superbe. A voir absolument. Vous ne regardez pas un spectacle, vous le vivez. Bravo et merci pour la soirée que vous nous avez fait vivre. Vraiment aucun regret.
Très belle salle traditionnelle, spectacle de grande qualité, intense, émouvant et plein de grâce.
