At only 15 minutes from the heart of Madrid, its typical Andalusian ambiance transports its guests to a romantic Spain where the sun always shines and where gypsies dance in colourful dresses to the rythms of the flamenco guitar. Watch our top class flamenco show while dining on traditional Spanish dishes made with the freshest ingredients, washed down with the finest Spanish wines and beers. « less

“A fantastic authentic Spanish experience - a real find!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

I took my other half to Madrid for a surprise weekend away with the aim of soaking in some real spanish culture. Rather than just going to the popular tourist spots I wanted to take her off the beaten track a bit and opt for something a little different. With this in mind we asked the taxi driver if he... More

“Excellent flamenco show in an authenic setting!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2012

We so enjoyed our evening! There is a flamenco show on Fridays and Saturdays on the stage in the restaurnat. Every table was taken, so it is best to email the restaurant for a reservation and Melody will reply. Melody has lived in Madrid for 16 years and is a marvelous flamenco dancer. She performs with a number of her... More

We wanted to take our friends to a flamenco venue whilst in Madrid and were delighted we chose El Cortijo. It was a small venue where the atmosphere was great, we all had a brilliant time and it was also good to see that the guitarist, singer and dancers were having as much fun as we were. Thank you for... More

I am not a flamenco expert by any means--this was in fact the first performance I have ever seen--but I can tell you that as far as I can tell, the entire audience at this performance was as enthusiastic as I was about the dancing we viewed. I was with a group of about 8 and we sat right next... More

Unlike the usual tourist spots who usually feature the same tired act every night, El Cortijo features a variety young professionals and semi-professionals who give it their all providing a very good experience and environment. Also there is no entry charge, the food is very good and not expensive (completely in contrast to some of the tourist spots). More
