It is in the hearth of la rambla! You don't need to go to those flamenko places which are too expensive. This 30 minutes show is enough to feel the soul of flamenko! The only thing I would change is the atmosphere since it is too crawded and low ceiling. But 30 minutes wont bother you. More

We were in Barcelona for Easter and we wanted to see a Flamenco show ! We had read about Los Tarantos , how good it was and how it was a good way to get initiated to flamenco ! The problem was that we were not the only ones with the same interest : on Saturday evening we saw a... More

My wife and I went to a show here in May and quite enjoyed it. She has a bit of a discerning eye as she danced flamenco when she was younger and she thought it was excellent. The dancers and singers seemed to enjoy performing and weren't "going through the motions". $8 Euros for 30 minutes is pretty good value.... More

As everywhere here you also can stay in line for a long time. The show for eight eur lasts 30 minutes, at the end you may feel that this half an hour is more than enough for this attraction. I guess there are other, more authentic places to see flamenco, so choose another one! More

Went there with my Kids, we all enjoyed it - small hall, 30 min. of music and dancing, a good taste of what Flamenco is. Better to purchase tickets online and print them out than to stand in line before the show. Also, located in the beautiful placa Reial. Highly recommended. More

We wanted to see some sort of Flamenco show while we were in Barcelona and this was perfect. 8 euros for a 30 minute show. It was enough to hear the music and watch the two dancers, which were fantastic! We went on a Friday night and we were packed in like sardines. Probably best to get seats rather than... More

I and My Wife had a chance to see the show. Actually, it was the second show that we watched in Barcelona. I like the performance at Los Tarantos. For 8€/30minutes it is a quick show, how to introduce flamengo from very close distance in its natural way. The 30minutes were fulfilled with song and dance without any pause. More

Interesting venue, I wasn't sure what to expect, but what a great show. It was a perfect way to round off the last evening of our trip to Barcelona, we went to the late show at 10.30 after a nice meal in a place just across the square from Los Tarantos. The dancing and singing was intense and the guitar... More
