Experience the flamenco show in the same way as in the origins of the tablaos.

There are few things left today that can still be enjoyed with the authenticity of their origins. And, for this reason, we sometimes find ourselves with a kind of nostalgia when we travel and do not get to experience certain moments as we imagined them or as they were in the past.

Fortunately, flamenco is an art that can hardly lose its authenticity. Its richness, its forms and its deep meaning are so strongly rooted in our culture and in the culture of those who perpetuate its existence, from generation to generation, that we still have the opportunity of witnessing a flamenco show very similar to what it was in its golden age.

And, if there is one thing that can bring even more authenticity to the experience in a flamenco tablao flamenco tablao is to enjoy the show with a glass of its most long-lived companion: wine. In those days, in any meeting where there was cante, baile andpalmas, a bottle of wine could not be missing to serve as an excuse, and even as an inspiration, for the meeting. So much so, that the wineries of Jerez, an Andalusian province in southern Spain, began to use in the nineteenth century, in a very ingenious way to promote their wines, the image of the most famous flamenco artists to label their bottles of wine.

Artists from Cádiz and Jerez, such as La Sordita and La Serrana, were some of the most popular stars of the time whose image would appear lithographed on the labels of the wine bottles that would preside over the tables of many memorable moments in the history of this genre, today recognized as Intangible Heritage of Humanity according to UNESCO..

For this reason, we propose you to live your next flamenco show in one of our tablaos as in the past and in the best way, paired with a good wine. And, as it can not be otherwise, our recommendation is that you do it with one of the best wines of Madrid. Wines of Madrid that we produce at Region of Madrid. Currently, there are 51 wineries that make up the winegrowing landscape of the south of our community, which you can visit as a perfect complement to your visit to the "tablaos" of Madrid.These wineries produce about 110 brands of wine of Denomination of Origin of very good and excellent quality that have little to envy to our highly prized sherry wines from Jerez.

So, now that you know how to recreate an authentic flamenco moment, don't hesitate to ask the waiter at the tablao about the wines of Madrid to pair with your show. We assure you that your expectations will be satisfied... Enjoy!
