3 flamenco tablaos in Malaga for a bath of party and culture
Going out to party at a flamenco tablao in Malaga may be a cliché. But it’s the most fun, wild and incredible cliché you’ll ever fall into. Flamenco shows have it all: roots, culture, jaleo, intensity, passion and lots and lots of duende. To experience the south from its depths, you have to let yourself be carried away by the singing, dancing and guitar playing. Let’s go there with 3 flamenco tablaos in Malaga where you can enjoy this art declared Intangible Heritage of Humanity by Unesco.
1. Alegría, flamenco y gastronomía
In this place in the Malagueta neighborhood they organize daily flamenco shows in three shows: at 18:00, 20:00 and 22:30. The atmosphere is quite touristy, but still authentic. Every week the shows change, so it is a good place to come back and continue to be surprised by the duende of the flamenco singers, guitarists and dancers that pass through the stage. In addition, they offer dinners in two shifts (18:30 and 20:45) before the shows. The Mediterranean menu includes typical dishes of the area.

2. Kelipé Flamenco Art Center
Another of the best rated flamenco tablaos in Malaga. The group Kelipé offers in this cultural center and theater of the historic center different shows, such as “Flamenco de Ley”, where improvisation reigns, ranging from the bulería jerezana to the gypsy laments of the solea. Also highly recommended is the Trilogía Flamenca (Flamenco Trilogy), with three shows including a series of tributes to the great artists of the 19th-20th centuries.
Where: C. Muro de Puerta Nueva, 10.
3. Amargo Flamenca Tavern
In this small bar in the center of Malaga you can enjoy live flamenco concerts, drinks and a very authentic atmosphere with walls full of combs, guitars and even the Virgen del Rocio presiding over the space from a tapestry. With a less touristic approach and a friendly service, it is a good option to get to know the world of flamenco from up close.
