I had done a lot of research online before our Spain/Portugal trip about where might be the best Flamenco in Madrid and even spoke with some locals including our Madrid bicycle tour guide, Carlos, who grew up in Madrid. Now I know the place to see excellent and less-touristy flamenco is in Seville, but unfortunately, Seville wasn't on our itinerary... More

We went with the idea that we probably wouldnt eat but once we saw the prices for the food we definately didnt! We ordered a drink each and some olives and bread. Drinks were about 8 euros each (beer or wine). The olives were ok but the bread was rock hard and very stale! On seeing other people's food arrive... More

Had dinner with family here August 28, 2011. The meals are ridiculously overpriced and you are charged even for the buns that have been on the table for hours. That I found insulting. The meals were good but nothing incredible for the prices. The best meal was the salmon that my son had ordered. Make sure they don't overcook it!... More

This has a very good reputation as one of the best flamenco shows in Spain. My husband had been there several years ago, before we were married, loved it, and wanted me to see it, too. The dancers and musicians were just terrific! Small venue, obviously not a place where crowds of tourists would be bussed in. This was much... More

We went to the Cafe de Chinitas on Monday this week, on the recommendation of our hotel receptionist. We didn't have dinner, but paid 72 euros for the 90 minute show, a decent bottle of rioja and a few dishes of nibbles, which we thought was reasonable. There were 6 dancers, a few guitarists and a few vocalists - they... More

The flamenco was okay, but the drinks and the food were too expensive and less than ordinary! I even got sick after eating paella. I give them feedback after the dinner that the food was too expensive according to the price but they were not amused!!! So my advice: only watch the showif you have no alternative and order a...

We were worried about not getting a table since our resveration was not confoirmed, but as it turned out, we were one of only two couples watching the 10:00 p.m. show. But the performers did not seem to care that the place was nearly empty. Perhaps this was because it was a rainy Winter weeknight. But a wonderful show. We... More

We were not dissapointed! We arrived by... More
