Peña El Taranto

Fodor's Choice

Founded in 1963, this excellent venue (home to the city's Arab water deposits) has been one of the main centers for flamenco in Andalusia, and foot-stomping live flamenco and concerts are performed every two weeks. Check in advance for exact times and dates.

El Colono

Although the flamenco show is undeniably touristy, this club has an authentic olé atmosphere with good dancers. The food is reasonable, and local specialties, including paella and seafood soup, are served. Dinner shows (€38), with a three-course meal, begin at 7:30 pm on Wednesday.
