    i would have to disagree, i went to corral de la moreria last week and absolutely loved it!! it was so energetic and passionate! there were so many dancers and musicians that put on several different performances. i thought it was definately worth the money. i went to a different flamenco show in granada and was really disappointed. I highly recommend corral de la moreria!!

      the dancing was great but the food is WAY overpriced - I would recommend going either here or to casa patas just for the show and eating a nearby tapas place either before or after- these flamenco places are best enjoyed with just a glass of wine to not distract from the performance. The price and quality of the food you will get at any tapas bar is way better than at one of these shows...

      I second Casa Patas. Definitely eat there. Get the jamon iberico, tortilla espanola, and the home made croquetas. The have a really nice tomato salad with anchovies too, and the rabo de toro looks delicious but I've never had it. Yum.

        its alright, the flamenco show is a bit schmalzy, the food is pretty good. for the dinner/flamenco deal i would recommend casa patas (near tirso de molino) without a doubt, and failing that, las carboneras (near santo domingo). i think both are more reasonably priced, with better food and better flamenco.

        at casa patas the simple things are extraordinary: consomé and steak...
