Our take

Of all Granada's flamenco shows, this is the one that stays closest to the original Sacromonte gypsy zambra format. The cave is dug into the hillside, with no stage and no amplification: you hear the guitar and singing as you would have at a gypsy family gathering seventy years ago. The 60-person capacity keeps the atmosphere intimate, and the seating layout means you're three metres from the dancers. It's a different experience from the central tablaos, where flamenco is seen through a PA system and from 20 metres back. What not to expect: a comfortable air-conditioned room. The cave is narrow and seats are tightly packed — several reviews mention that some positions have partially obstructed views from columns or other audience members. That's why arriving early matters: with 15-30 minutes' lead time, you have a shot at the front benches, which are what really make the ticket worth it. With 4.7 out of 5 and 1,107 reviews, the rating is solid. At €23 with a drink included and 24-hour free cancellation, it's one of the best value-for-money options in Granada's flamenco catalogue. If you're going to Granada for the first time and want to see flamenco just one night, this is the show to pick; if you have limited mobility or want comfortable seating, a central tablao like Casa Ana or La Alboreá is a better fit.

Good to know

What to bring

  • A light layer in winter: the cave keeps a constant temperature but the walk up is cool

Not suitable for

  • People with severe mobility issues: access is via steep Sacromonte lanes

Things to keep in mind

  • There's no traditional stage or PA system — flamenco is experienced face-to-face, very close to the artists
  • Capacity limited to 60 people — booking online is the safest
  • The operator recommends arriving 30 minutes early to secure a good position
  • Some reviews mention that seats are tightly packed and certain spots have partially obstructed views

Meeting point

Cueva Los Amayas, Camino del Sacromonte, Granada

The cave is right in the Sacromonte neighbourhood, on a hillside with views of the Alhambra-Generalife complex. Arrive 15-30 minutes early: seats aren't numbered and the first to arrive get the best views and the closest spots to the dancers. The walk from central Granada up to the cave is uphill — comfortable shoes are essential.

The experience

Flamenco Show at Cueva Los Amayas (Sacromonte)

One hour of gypsy zambra in a Sacromonte cave, with no stage, no PA system and three metres from the dancers. The format closest to Granada's traditional flamenco, in the neighbourhood where it was born.

Accessibility

Limited access for people with reduced mobility: the cave is in Sacromonte, reached via steep lanes with uneven ground. If accessibility is a priority, check with the operator before booking or choose a central tablao.

Cancellation policy

Free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. You can also book now and pay later.

Frequently asked questions

How does it differ from a normal tablao?
Central tablaos usually have a stage, PA system and larger capacities. Cueva Los Amayas is a gypsy zambra in a cave: no stage, no amplification, and capacity for only 60 people. The dancers perform three metres from the audience and the guitar is heard without microphones. It's the format closest to traditional Sacromonte flamenco.
How do I get to Sacromonte from the centre?
On foot from Plaza Nueva up the Cuesta del Chapiz (20-25 minutes uphill) or on the C2 bus which goes directly up to Sacromonte. If you're short on time or have limited mobility, take a taxi: €5-7 from the centre. The neighbourhood isn't dangerous, but the streets are steep and poorly lit at night; better to walk back to the centre while there's still light or take a taxi when you leave.
Is it worth arriving early?
Yes. Seats aren't numbered and the cave is narrow — the front benches are 2-3 metres from the dancers and let you see their faces and feet; the back rows have a worse view despite the closeness. The operator recommends arriving 30 minutes early; 15 minutes is usually enough outside high season.
Does it include food?
No, only a drink (beer, wine, soft drink or juice). If you want dinner first, there are several restaurants nearby on the Camino del Sacromonte. If you'd rather have flamenco with dinner included, there are other options in the comparison (Jardines de Zoraya with dinner, for example).
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, no age restriction. But bear in mind it lasts an hour in dim light, with clapping, foot-stomping and loud singing — very young or noise-sensitive children may find it tough.
