If you’re looking for a way to truly experience the soul of Andalusia, a live flamenco performance combined with a gourmet tasting might be just what you need. This show, offered in Córdoba, provides an intimate glimpse into Spain’s passionate musical and dance traditions, with the added bonus of national awards-winning artists. While it’s not a large-scale production, its focus on authentic artistry and local flavors makes it a compelling choice for those wanting to indulge in a cultural highlight without breaking the bank.
Two features stand out for us: the chance to see award-winning flamenco artists—including singers, dancers, and guitarists—and the complementary gourmet tasting that offers a small but meaningful culinary taste of Spain’s regional cuisine.

Still, for travelers craving an intimate, authentic flamenco encounter, this tour can deliver memorable moments. It’s best suited for those interested in traditional Spanish music, culture, and a relaxed evening out.

The Gourmet Tasting and Meal Options
While the show alone is priced at €25 (about $28) per person, which includes a drink, there’s also an option to upgrade to a meal package for €50.

The inclusion of a drink with the entrance fee is a thoughtful touch, adding to the relaxed, social vibe of the evening. The meal options aren’t detailed in the available info, but given the region, you might find classic Andalusian dishes like gazpacho, Iberico pork, or regional desserts.

What It Means for You as a Traveler
While some reviews are glowing, others are more reserved, reflecting the tour’s niche appeal. One traveler described the experience as “Tutto ottimo. Grande performance,” indicating high satisfaction. But with an average rating of 3.6/5, it’s clear that expectations vary, perhaps due to differences in the performers or personal taste.
If you’re a flamenco enthusiast or curious about Spain’s cultural heritage, you’ll likely appreciate the talent and authenticity of this show. The knowledgeable artists—some with national awards—bring a level of professionalism that’s hard to find in larger, commercialized venues.
However, if you’re expecting a large, flashy spectacle, this might seem a little understated. The intimate setting means fewer dancers and musicians but emphasizes quality over quantity.
