Flamenco in Seville, Which Show to Book and What It Costs

Most flamenco shows in Seville start at 7pm, an hour before most restaurant kitchens open, and that timing decides which ticket fits your evening. Book a one-hour room and you walk out at 8pm ready for dinner; book a tablao with a table and dinner comes first. A flamenco show in Seville costs between 25 and 45 euros for an hour of dance, song and guitar in the old town. At 25 euros, La Casa del Flamenco is the cheapest, with five shows a day in October from 4pm. Tablao Las Setas holds its last one at 10.30pm, for anyone who eats late.

What is the best flamenco show in Seville? For a first visit, La Casa del Flamenco in Santa Cruz: 25 euros, 60 minutes, five shows a day. Los Gallos gives the longest show, 75 minutes with eight performers for 38 euros. For dinner and a show under one roof, Tablao El Arenal, from 71 euros plus VAT. Families do best at the Museo del Baile Flamenco.

Which flamenco show to book, by budget and by evening

The cheapest adult ticket is 25 euros at La Casa del Flamenco and the dearest show-only ticket is 45 euros plus VAT at El Arenal, which includes a drink. Seven of the eight venues below run 60-minute shows; only Los Gallos runs 75 minutes, and it adds a drink to every ticket until 31 October.

Venue	Show length	Shows start	Adult ticket	What else is included
La Casa del Flamenco	60 minutes	4pm, 5.30pm, 7pm, 8.30pm and 10pm in October	25 euros	Nothing else; unnumbered seats
Tablao Las Setas	60 minutes	6pm, 7.30pm, 9pm and 10.30pm	28 euros basic, 38 euros general	General adds a preferred seat and a cocktail
Museo del Baile Flamenco	60 minutes	5pm, 7pm and 8.45pm	29 euros, or 33 euros with the museum	Museum entry on the combined ticket
Teatro Flamenco Sevilla	60 minutes	5pm, 7pm and 8.45pm	29 euros	Premium seat for 39 euros
Casa de la Memoria	60 minutes	6pm and 7.30pm, plus seasonal extras	Shown when booking	Nothing else
CasaLa Teatro	60 minutes	6pm	35 euros	Nothing else
Tablao Los Gallos	75 minutes	7pm and 8.45pm	38 euros	A drink, until 31 October
Tablao El Arenal	60 minutes	7pm and 9.30pm	45 euros plus VAT	One drink; dinner menus from 71 euros plus VAT

Our pick for a first night is La Casa del Flamenco, because five daily starts leave room for a late Alcázar visit or a delayed train. Pick Los Gallos if you want the longest show for the money, the Museo del Baile Flamenco, founded by the dancer Cristina Hoyos, if you have children or a rainy afternoon, and El Arenal only if you want dinner at the show.

A 7pm show and Seville’s 8pm dinner

Seville eats late, and the evening works best when the show is built around dinner. Across the ten restaurants mapped in our Seville food guide, dinner rarely starts before 8pm, and between 5.30pm and 7pm only three of them are serving. A show starting at 7pm ends at 8pm, or at 8.15pm at Los Gallos.

Two evenings that work without a reservation clash. The early one: the 5pm show at the Museo del Baile Flamenco or Teatro Flamenco Sevilla, a drink, then dinner from 8pm. The late one: dinner first, then the 9pm or 10.30pm show at Tablao Las Setas, which sits below the Metropol Parasol and pairs with a Las Setas rooftop ticket from 48 euros including the show. Opening hours of the restaurants, area by area, are in where to eat in Seville by hour and by seat.

What a flamenco ticket really costs, VAT and children included

A flamenco ticket in Seville usually includes VAT, but not everywhere. The fare the Museo del Baile Flamenco publishes includes 21 percent VAT on shows, while the Arenal lists all its prices before VAT, so the 45 euros on its show-and-drink ticket and the 86 euros on its dinner menu rise at checkout.

Children pay less almost everywhere. The Museo del Baile Flamenco charges 15 euros for ages 6 to 12 and Teatro Flamenco Sevilla 19 euros for the same ages; La Casa del Flamenco charges 15 euros up to age 12 but does not recommend the show for under-6s; Tablao Las Setas charges 20 euros from age 3 to 16, and under-3s go free. El Arenal has a children’s dinner menu at 55 euros plus VAT.

Buy from the venue’s own website or box office. The flamenco results on Google are crowded with resellers and tour platforms whose listings carry their own mark-up, and the fares in this table are the ones each house publishes itself. Tickets at La Casa del Flamenco are non-refundable, so pick the date before you pay.

Free flamenco in Seville and the Bienal de Flamenco

Free flamenco in Seville happens at the peñas, members clubs that host the city council series EmPEÑAdos por Sevilla, run with the Unión de Peñas Flamencas: recitals are free until the room is full. Hosts include the Peña Cultural Flamenca Torres Macarena, founded in 1974 at Calle Torrijano 29, where Don Fadrique bus stop is 148 metres away.

A peña has no daily show and no box office, so turn up for an announced recital and arrive early. In summer, the Noches en los Jardines garden concerts at the Real Alcázar de Sevilla cost 7 euros, according to the Patronato that runs the palace, with entry from 9pm to 10.25pm Tuesday to Saturday, and flamenco is one of the genres on the bill; the full calendar is in what opens after dark in Seville.

The Bienal de Flamenco de Sevilla is the city council’s festival, held every two years in even years. Its 24th edition ran from 9 September to 3 October across theatres such as the Teatro de la Maestranza and the Teatro Lope de Vega, closing with Carmen Linares. Dates are set fresh each time, so check the Bienal’s own programme before planning a September trip around it. For the rest of a Seville stay, see what to see in one, two or three days, and for the Alcázar visit that often precedes an evening show, what to see inside the Real Alcázar.
