Alfalfa, Seville

"An eclectic former coal factory turned into a vibrant flamenco venue with food and drinks. Relaxed ambiance and truly authentic."
If you want to experience real flamenco in Sevilla, head to La Carbonería in Alfalfa. This old coal factory is now a bar and performance center where you can catch a free authentic flamenco show every night of the week. When you enter, buy a drink and settle in to enjoy a relaxed, but truly impressive, flamenco performance with singing, dancing, and instruments. No videos are allowed during the performances.
