Finding a flamenco show in Seville is not especially difficult. However, if you’re looking for some traditional, authentic flamenco, you often have to dig a bit deeper!

Seville is a city that lives and breathes the flamenco tradition and is known the world over for the quality of its flamenco scene. With a tradition that stretches back centuries, there is no better city to see flamenco in its purest form. While there are some authentic flamenco bars in Seville, they rarely include all aspects of the flamenco tradition in the way a professional show does.

Thankfully, for every touristy show, there is a stunning, traditional show to counter it! We love nothing more than a lively, passionate flamenco performance. These authentic flamenco shows in Seville will ensure that your flamenco experience is a completely unforgettable one!

The intimate surroundings of the 18th-century building the shows take place in present incredible acoustics. This allows guests to fully appreciate the intricacies of the flamenco guitar, as well as the amazing dancing and singing that accompany it. The Guitar Museum itself houses over 60 pieces, demonstrating over 300 years of the history of this iconic instrument.

Peña Cultural Flamenca Torres Macarena

Peñas flamencas are cultural associations often put together in honor of specific flamenco artists, genres or locations. Here, talented local artists get the opportunity to perform and hone their craft. The aim of a peña is not to make money, but to maintain the flamenco tradition in its purest and most authentic form. This unique environment gives both visitors and locals the chance to see some stunning performances from local talent.

Among the most well-known peñas in Seville is Torres Macarena, named after the street in the Macarena area where the organization originally opened in 1974. The peña recently moved to a larger location in the same neighborhood and the fascinating and intimate performances demand the utmost respect and attention from guests. This respectful atmosphere offers a unique and unforgettable experience.

Some of Seville’s most famous flamenco singers and dancers have performed here.

Instead, guests make a donation of €6 which goes directly towards funding the peña itself.

Address: Calle Torrigiano, 29
Price: 9 euros donation to the peña
Show Times: Weekly shows run on Wednesdays from 21:00
