Do you feel Flamenco?

There is a great new Flamenco show in the city. The name is tablao LA CANTAORA, It is at Street Albareda 22. They have only show per 25 euros per person, or Tapas menu plus show by 55 euros per person. The show is great! They always have real Gypsies dancing and singing as real Flamenco. If you are looking for a good place, this is for sure! Please, contact me if you want to reserve the show 🙂

I would recommend just to do Flamenco show, After the show, if you want a good place for tapas, you can go at the same Street Albareda but the number 11 Name of the Bar BARBIANA, they have great traditional tapas. Restaurant inside is good too, but a little expensive, so if you want just to enjoy tapas you can take there. I recommend you to order TORTILLITA DE CAMARONES, also you can taste there a great wine from Cadiz, the name is MANZANILLA, It fit perfectly with TORTILLITA DE CAMARONES 🙂

Family and children

  • Maria Luisa Park: It is a beautiful park close by PLAZA DE ESPAÑA. Just enjoy this historic park: It is the first urban park in Seville (Andalusia, Spain) and one of its green lungs. In 1983 it was declared of Cultural Interest in the category of Historic Garden.3 It was inaugurated on April 18, 1914 as Infanta María Luisa Fernanda urban park.

    These spaces, which were initially part of the private gardens of the San Telmo Palace, were donated in 1893 by the infanta María Luisa Fernanda de Borbón, wife of the Duke of Montpensier, to the city. The squares of Spain and America, built for the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929, are integrated into the park4 as in a public garden and constitute one of the main attractions.
