Casa de la Memoria

Top choice in El Centro & El Arenal


Occupying the old stables of the 16th-century Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija, this cultural centre stages authentic, highly charged flamenco shows, as well as housing a small exhibition of flamenco memorabilia. The nightly shows are perennially popular, and as space is limited, you'll need to reserve tickets a day or so in advance by calling or visiting the venue.
