Corral de la Moriera

For a great Flamenco performance, head to Madrid’s Corral de la Moriera to see some of the discipline’s most respected performances. While no flamenco performance provides a truly local experience (you’d have to visit a proper flamenco bar in the later hours of the night for that), Corral de la Moriera maintains a nice mix of locals and tourists who come to watch some of the country’s top flamenco dancers, singers and guitarists. Run by a family whose roots lie in the world of flamenco (the owner’s mother, once a professional flamenco dancer, began the establishment and has since graduated to choreographing on a national level), Corral has soul and its passion for this unique art can be felt when you attend a performance. Indagare tip: The 10pm seating draws more locals than the 8pm seating, which naturally brings in more visiting families. Enjoy dinner at one of Madrid’s more sought-after restaurants and come for a drink or dessert during the later seating.
