Seville and Flamenco have been closely connected for centuries. If Andalusia is the capital of flamenco, then Seville is its center. The city is full of street corners, tablaos, and bars where you can experience the flamenco atmosphere.
Some of the best flamenco can be enjoyed every two years throughout September during the Flamenco Biennial of Seville, however, the city offers fantastic performances all year round. It is impossible to name every single bar, club, school, or association offering Flamenco, as there are countless options that are highly recommended.
