Upsetter Reggae
Many people who come to Granada for flamenco think they need to head for the Sacromonte area to see the "real thing". And why not?
After all, the Sacromonte area of Granada is where the magic of flamenco first brought together guitar, voice and dance.
But, when you have the right Granada information, you will know that you can't beat going along to one of the various clubs of Granada where people and singers pay a joyous homage to the wonderful world of "Flamenco".
After a lot of searching, walking and dancing I have come up with my top five choice of Granada Flamenco Clubs. They are listed below in alphabetical order..
Eshavira Jazz and Flamenco Club
This club gives a true "Granada" taste of flamenco. It is a smokey mix of life, music and energy and is not for the fainthearted, but don't miss it if you want to experience a different aspect of the city. The building is a labyrinth of passages, rooms and areas where you can truly absorb the atmosphere of dance and song.
From Calle Azacayas, turn off Calle Elvira and go down Calle Postigo de la Cuna to number 2.
Huerto del Loro
Of my top five Granada flamenco clubs perhaps Huerto del Loro has the most comfortable and relaxed ambience, although when the singing and dancing start your feet will start to tap and your whole spirit will beat to the rhythm of the music. It is set out as a cave, complete with vaulted ceiling. There is also an outside terrace to sit at in the summer.
Go to the Plaza de Santa Ana and take the stairs up to Calle Santa Ana. Turn left and follow the "road" up until you reach Cuesta de la Churra on the right hand side. Just take the steps up to the club.
Peña Flamenca La Platería
Situated in the Albaicén, this club is one of the oldest flamenco clubs in Spain and is well worth visiting if only to soak in the atmosphere while you have a drink. As you will see when you get there, the place is filled with an impressive array of photographs of flamenco and its artistes. And when the dancing starts- you will know why this club has been attracting customers since the 1940's.
The address is number 7 in the Placeta de Toqueros.
Tablao Flamenco Albayzín
This gypsy style cave consistently provides excellent entertainment from the flamenco artists. Included in the price is a free drink and an optional tour of about three quarters of an hour where you are guided around the Albaizin and the Sacromonte.
Carretera Murcia, Mirador de San Cristóbal
Upsetter
This club is set out as a typical gypsy cave, has a central location and is one of the easiest to get to... and for those looking for something a little different, there is usually an after-flamenco show of Reggae type music to enjoy..
Near Plaza Nueva on the Carrera del Darro, 7
When I first came to live near Graanda my only experience of live flamenco had been watching shows in various hotels I had stayed at.
Flamenco in Granada is a totally different thing. It is passion, excitement and seduction, all rolled into one.
If you come to Granada, and you go to watch the flamenco, make sure you check out one of my top five clubs. You are bound to enjoy yourself. Pretty soon you will find yourself wanting to stamp your feet and shout "Olé"!
