Un tablao flamenco con alma en el corazón de Sevilla

Más de 50 años de historia flamenca

Desde su fundación, El Arenal ha sido mucho más que un escenario. Durante más de cinco décadas, hemos ofrecido flamenco auténtico a sevillanos y visitantes de todo el mundo. Un lugar donde se respira la tradición, la pasión y la verdad del arte andaluz que nos define.

El mejor lugar del mundo para sentir las emociones del Arte Flamenco.
The New York Times

Ubicación privilegiada,
en pleno centro

Estamos en la calle Rodo, en pleno centro histórico de Sevilla. Entre la Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza y el Teatro de la Maestranza, a pocos pasos de la Catedral, la Giralda y la Torre del Oro. En este enclave nace cada noche la magia del flamenco.

Flamenco puro, íntimo y vivo

El espectáculo en El Arenal es una experiencia única. Una hora de emoción a flor de piel con artistas del cante, el baile y la guitarra flamenca que entregan su arte con intensidad y verdad. Aquí se siente el duende. Y se respeta el flamenco como lo que es: Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

Puedes disfrutarlo con una copa, unas tapas o una cena andaluza de alta calidad. Nuestra carta acompaña cada actuación con sabores de la tierra, en el maridaje perfecto entre gastronomía y arte.

El Origen de Nuestro Tablao

Curro Vélez nació en 1934 en Triana, cuna de famosos toreros y estrellas del cante y baile flamenco.

Curro Vélez: “raza pura por los cuatro costados”, creció entre los grandes del flamenco. Se sintió atraído por este arte y cuando ganó sus primeras pesetas, las invirtió en lecciones de baile con el famoso maestro de Sevilla: Enrique “El Cojo”.

A los 15 años se presentó por primera vez en público en el Hotel Cristina que, en ese momento, contaba con el más famoso tablao de Sevilla. Bajo la hábil dirección de “EL COJO” y ayudado por la intuición de su propia raza, Curro Vélez fue desarrollando su arte hasta convertirse en uno de los bailaores más prometedores del flamenco.

Poco después de su debut pasó a formar parte del ballet de Pilar López, como compañero de ésta.

Partió luego a América donde actuó como primer bailaor en los conjuntos de Carmen Amaya, Antonio Sabicas y José Greco.

De regreso a España, Manolo Caracol, uno de los mayores artistas de flamenco de este siglo, lo presentó en su célebre tablao “Los Canasteros”, en Madrid.

En 1964, junto a Manuela Vargas, se presentó en la exposición Mundial de Nueva York y en el Festival de París.

En 1966 realizó una gira con Luisa Ortega y Arturo Pavón, como bailaor solista, finalizada la cual decide independizarse.

Curro puso de manifiesto su don para el baile flamenco, dirigiendo y presentando las coreografías más complicadas e innovadoras.

Con su espectáculo “Fiesta Gitana” se presentó en París, en el Theatre des Champs-Elysées durante dos temporadas consecutivas y luego recorrió Holanda, Bélgica y se presentó triunfante en Roma, convertido en una de las máximas figuras del Flamenco por su técnica brillante y su magnífica expresión rítmica.

Se dovete andare a vedere uno spettacolo di flamenco questo è il posto giusto. Ci siamo trovati benissimo, avevamo prenotato in anticipo perché amici che c'erano già stati ce lo avevano consigliato. Lo spettacolo si svolge in un ambiente veramente caratteristico. La serata è incominciata con un aperitivo a base di tapas particolari e gustose servito da personale molto attento. Il nostro tavolo era posizionato proprio all'altezza del piccolo palco e abbiamo potuto percepire tutte le vibrazioni che trasmettevano un'energia che ci è arrivata possente. Andateci lo consiglieremo a tutti.

Tolles Ambiente, sehr nettes Personal, kurzweilige Show, die uns und sogar unsere Kinder wirklich faszinierte. Leider ist es extrem kalt im Saal, nach Anfrage beim Personal wurde die Klima aber etwas wärmer gestellt. Man darf keine Fotos machen, daher nur das eine Bild von aussen. In jedem Fall ist es den Eintritt wert.

Espectacular e impecable desde la entrada hasta la salida. Fuimos a espectáculo con tapas de 5 estrellas tambien ya que la calidad de el producto y la cocina me parecieron dignas del mejor restaurante. En cuanto al espectáculo Flamenco tanto los cantaores, guitarra y bailaores fue una auténtica maravilla verlos actuar y derrochar tanto sentimiento por este arte. Expericiencia 1000x1000 MUY RECOMENDABLE

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Outstanding Experience! This was honestly one of the highlights of our trip! We chose the dinner package at Tablao El Arenal, and WOW… everything exceeded our expectations. The three-course dinner was absolutely delicious, and the included bottle of wine made the whole experience even better. The food, atmosphere, service, and show all came together perfectly. And then there was the flamenco show… absolutely incredible! The passion, energy, music, dancing, and talent were unforgettable. You could feel the emotion throughout the entire performance. It was truly an authentic and beautiful experience. The service also deserves a special mention. Everyone was attentive, professional, and welcoming from beginning to end, which made the evening feel even more special. If you're visiting Seville, do not miss this experience! We would absolutely do it again and highly recommend choosing the dinner package. It was worth every penny and gave us an unforgettable night in Seville. ❤️💃🏻🍷 10/10 experience! Outstanding from beginning to end!

This was my very first flamenco show, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip to Seville. I booked the show with a drink package and, when I arrived, I was escorted to a table right next to the stage. It couldn’t have been a better seat; I had an amazing view of the performers throughout the evening. It looked like guests who had booked the dinner or tapas packages were seated earlier, so the seating times seem to be organised according to the package you’ve booked. One thing to note is that photography and video recording weren’t allowed during the performance, so unfortunately I don’t have any photos to share from the show itself. However, it did help everyone stay focused on the performance rather than their phones. The first dancer was a lady who seemed incredibly experienced. Her expressions, confidence and passion were absolutely beautiful to watch, and she immediately set the tone for the evening. The second performer, a slender gentleman, danced with so much energy and emotion. Of all the dancers, he struck me as the most passionate and completely drew the audience into his performance. The third dancer was a younger lady wearing a stunning dress. She was excellent as well, but for me the first dancer still remained the standout female performer of the night. Then came the fourth dancer. Wow. He was absolutely beautiful & incredible. His movements were powerful yet elegant, and I genuinely couldn’t take my eyes off him whenever he was on stage. He was easily one of the most memorable performers of the evening. The whole show was accompanied by fantastic live singers and a guitarist, who were amazing in their own right and added so much atmosphere to the performance. The music, singing and dancing all came together to create a truly immersive experience. At the end of the show, they were selling castanets, so I bought a pair as a souvenir to remember a wonderful evening. If you’re visiting Seville and want to experience authentic flamenco, I’d definitely recommend this show. It was a fantastic introduction to flamenco and left me wanting to see more.

I came to the show with a large group, and someone else booked the tickets, so I didn’t really know what to expect. What was one of the most entertaining and thrilling shows I’ve ever seen - every moment of the performance was filled with incredible rhythm and melody, or excitement waiting for the rhythm and melody again. I’d highly recommend a visit

Saw the flamenco show at Tablao El Arenal on April 18th, a Saturday night when the streets around were buzzing with bullfight and Copa del Rey fans. Got our tickets through our hotel concierge and had elevated seating with a clear view of the stage, which made a real difference for a show like this. Right upon entry, we noticed bullfighting paintings and vintage posters throughout the space, setting the tone before we even sat down. The dining room doubles as the performance space. Dinner came first at our table, six courses including dessert, with a drink included. The braised beef and potatoes and the dessert were the standouts of the meal. Once dinner wrapped up, the room shifted into the show right at our seats, no moving around required. Worth noting this felt kid-friendly too; we had a father and daughter, around 10 to 13 years old, seated right next to us. The show itself was stunning. Four dancers, along with a live band and singers, delivered an incredibly high-energy and technically sharp performance. The passion and precision on that stage were the real reason to come. No photography allowed during the show, so be present and take it in rather than planning to capture it on your phone. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Sevilla.

I want to give 200 stars if possible. From start to end it was a magnificent experience. Dinner was delicious, wine is good, staff is super professional and above all the stars goes to the dancers and singers. Music, rhythm, show was above any praise.
