2. Teatro Lope de Vega

3. Teatro Alameda

Popular performances of all genres take to the stage of this modest theatre, with a strong emphasis on flamenco. It’s also a good venue for contemporary Andalucían theatrical works.
4. Teatro Central

In season, this theatre highlights the Flamenco Viene del Sur series, concurrently with all sorts of theatre, dance and classical music. It’s a starkly modern facility right on the river.
5. El Palenque

Another modern venue, the main focus here is contemporary song and dance acts.
6. El Arenal

The least tacky of the flamenco shows aimed at tourists, ahthough without the soul-stirring authenticity of the real thing. If you come for the first show, you can watch the second for free. (see Top 10 Flamenco Venues)
7. La Carbonería

A relaxed and authentic bar. Flamenco shows tend to happen on Monday and Thursday nights.
8. Los Gallos

Despite its popularity with tourists, the atmosphere here is genuine. First-rate flamenco performers.
9. Casa de la Memoria de al-Andalus

This cultural centre is dedicated to Jewish influence. Top flamenco artists and renditions of Sephardic music.
10. El Patio Sevillano

Another venue that caters to the throngs of tourists who want a rousing flamenco show.
