Review of Flamenco Barcelona show

Flamenco GuitaristIt was my wife's birthday whilst we were away - an important one with a "0" on the end - so I was trying to arrange a special night out.

I booked a table for 4 at the Tablao de Carmen (on the Internet before I left home) and I can thoroughly recommend it to all your readers.

The Tablao takes place in a typical Andalucian building in the Poble Espanol.

The all-in price includes entry to the Poble Espanol - after 7 p.m., I believe - which gave us a chance for a quick look around this 'model Village' of full size buildings from all the different parts of Spain without having to pay the Entrance Fee.

We were greeted with a nice glass of sherry as we arrived at 8 p.m. and then sat down to read the menu.

We had booked the 'standard' meal which is all you can do unless you're in a large group but this still gave us a choice of 6 options for each of the 4 courses - Soup, Salad, Main and Dessert.

We were very pleasantly surprised with the meal as I had feared that it might not be very special but was, in fact, very good! The meal was accompanied by either wine or in our case Sangria and the jug was refilled (without charge) as soon as it was empty. The cost (57 Euros per person) for entry to the Poble Espanol, 4-course dinner with drinks and a spectacular Flamenco show seemed very reasonable to me.

The tables were cleared by 21:15 or so and we stayed in our seats to watch the Flamenco Show.

None of us were particularly into dancing but the colour, passion, intensity and drama of the whole thing was both exciting and moving.

The flamenco show lasted some 75-90 minutes and involved a guitarist, 3 singers and 6 or 7 dancers. It was, as I understand it, more serious and 'genuine' than the typical Costa Flamenco Night.

Our only disappointment was that we'd left the camcorder in the apartment as I had assumed that we would not be allowed to use it whereas this seemed to be perfectly acceptable.

The only slight flaw in the whole evening was our inability to get a taxi when we came out of the Spanish Village at about 11 p.m. However, the walk down the hill to Plaza d'Espanya (where there were taxis aplenty) was not a problem as the night was warm and dry.

My wife and I recently holidayed in Barcelona with a couple of friends and stayed in an apartment that we found via your website [Editors Note: Click for the interview with Andrea Drottholm - apartment rental specialist Phil is referring to].

The holiday was a tremendous success and I would like to thank you and Andrea for all your help in arranging this.

Editors Note: Thanks Phil for this excellent review of this flamenco Show in Barcelona. John
