Definitely geared towards tourists, but if FLOTUS came here, then I had to check it out. There are 2 half hour shows, with different performers each set. With the first group, I was completely distracted by two of the dancers who looked bored out of their minds. Yes, the dancing was impressive but having gone to a show where you can truly see the passion in the dancers’ faces, this cheapened the set for me. Our second half was much better because the performers actually smiled and looked like they were enjoying themselves. People with stage fright, be warned — they will get members of the audience to dance with them. They certainly got people in the mood though because after we left, even my super conservative mother started dancing on the street! Would’ve like to see how the Zambra Maríà la Canastera, which is also well known and just a bit up the hill from Cueva, compared, but we did not have enough time in Granada.

My boyfriend and I got our tickets for a show and a drink, € 20/person. It was a nice show, traditional flamenco in a «cave» setting, two sets of half hours.

Avoid eating here as the food is pretty bad. But the Zambra style flamenco show is def well worth the trek and price. Super awesome and such an amazing experience in an actual cave. A must stop if you’re staying in Granada!

WONDERFUL experience! Guided tour: A bus picked us up at the hotel and we proceeded to head to the Albaicin district where we had a 40 min walking/guided tour or the entire region La Cueva: The live flamenco show was in a cave that was formerly occupied by Arabs during the late 1300’s. Very cozy space. The package included one free drink(water, juice available for those who don’t drink) and an hour long show featuring a variety of male and female flamenco dancers. The performance will have you watching in awe. Interesting fact: There were pics of famous Spanish bull fighters and politicians that visited the Cueva on the wall. I was surprised to see a huge picture of Michelle Obama during her visit to La Cueva on the back most wall of the cave. Enjoy!

We took a bus to the cave or cuevas de Sacromonte, where the gypsies live for a flamenco show in the cueva. It was magnificent! The ride up the hill, the beautiful flower(in pots) adorned houses and great people! Granada is truly a magical place! The show is definitely catering for the tourists, but we got a chance to experience real gypsies dance flamenco and simulate a wedding. They served beverages during the show and brought some of the guests up to dance. It was amazing!!!
