I would be interested in seeing some Flamenco performances when I am in Granada.

Does anybody know how to buy tickets?

If you stay at a hotel there are buses which take you to the caves in Sacromonte just ask at reception.

A bus will come round to your hotel and pick you up.

It is quite touristy, fairly expensive and you may feel like a sausage on a conveyor belt.

It is also possible to just go to the yourself Sacromonte at around 9pm and go to a Tablao.
In the summer and at peak times there are performances every night   
The palce I would recommend in this case is the Canastera.

In my opinion it is best to be in a long cave with the audience on chairs at the sides, that way you can get very close to the dancers and the atmosphere is good.

Another place which has a long cave rather than a stage is the Rocio.

A good alternative to going to a Tablao  is going to a restaurant where Flamenco is performed.
 
There are nightly performances at the Zoraya Restaurant.

I have seen that there is Flamenco and wine tasting etc at the
El sur de Granada Tapas bar/local products shop.

I haven't been there yet.

Please let us know if it is any good. It is best to phone to see what is on.

If you are a flamenco aficcionado the Plateria is supposed to be the best place.
It is a "peña de Flamenco" which is a private Flamenco club.
They have performances open to the public on Friday and Saturday.

Info here
http://www.laplateria.org.es/laplateria.html
The website does not appear to be very useful but try phoning 958 210650 to see what is on.
I doubt if they speak English.
