One of the most common question by visitors to Granada is about authentic Flamenco.
What do people actually mean by "authentic"?
There is quite a lot of non authentic flamenco that is excellent. For example have you ever heard the "Gypsy Kings" They are actually French not Spanish so I suppose they would fail on being authentic but I am sure that if most people went to a cave in the Sacromonte and by chance happened to get the Gypsy Kings I am sure they would be happy.
So in answering this question I will just try to answer the question that you probably should have asked.
Which is probably:
Can you recommend any flamenco in Granada that is very entertaining, involves virtuoso musicianship, spirited passionate dancing with a good atmosphere which does not make me feel too much like a tourist?
OK:
Chien Andalou. El Soniquete Andaluz SORRY PERMANENTLY CLOSED The best easiest place to get this is the Chien Andalou. This is a flamenco bar or Tablao. It has a very convenient location at the start of the River Darro just after Plaza Nueva. It does not have online booking so it would be a good idea to stroll past there and have a look then either book for the next night or go straight in. It is possible to eat there.
I have not finished writing the answer to this question. I will continue shortly.
