[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, PP!  Have you taken any of the tapas tours that the side you recommended (https://azahar-sevilla.com/sevilletapas/) does?  How does the flameco and tapas tour look to you?[/quote]

Sorry, I haven't! I have just spent a lot of time in Seville over the years and I think her tapas bars recommendations are pretty spot-on.

Flamenco in sevilla...I'm not really into flamenco myself, but I would agree that 1) flamenco dinner shows are like the hawaiian tourist luaus, and 2) peñas have better quality flamenco performances, with the caveat that: flamenco performers in peñas tend to be a little prickly and if they feel disrespected by the audience (like if people are talking) they can storm off stage/get into a verbal spar with the audience. To be fair, you sit real close to the performers in the peña and really good flamenco is a spiritual experience so the crowd vibes are important. That will not happen at a dinner show for tourists, you pay for a flamenco show, and that is what you will get.

If you like dancing, I'd think about taking a flamenco or sevillanas class, then go to a performance wherever the dance studio (taller de flamenco) recommends.

And, if all else fails, you can always head to La Carbonería in the Santa Cruz neighborhood. It a Seville institution for tourists--free flamenco of varying quality, decent bar (cash only, no real food to speak of), historic venue in an old charcoal factory. I've always liked going there because it's so low stress.[/quote]
