Good show, world champion rated dancers and musicians. Worth to watch.

Tourist trap . Show was ok the problem was the audience. People filming non stop, even if it was prohibited, changing places, jumping over the rows, bending over blocking the view, as if because you are on holidays and away from home everything was permitted. At the end as I was writing this review in the lobby, after having seen an ad encouraging us to do so, the staff asked me to go out... On ...

Second time at the Grand Gala Flamenco. As usual the show was amazing. You could almost feel like you were in a small Spanish traditional restaurant where the show happens right next to you. As one other reviewer commented, the costumes were superb! The shawls were some of the best. The singers had such feeling and energy. And the dancers brought the house down with their electric energy. Amazing!...

Three dancers only and two of them looked like in their 50s. Low cost production. Too many people - about 2000 packed into a small theater. It took us 45 minutes to enter in long lines. Horrible coordination. We paid for VIP tickets but our row was 3rd from the last. The male singer had a very annoying voice. Not the best you could get for your money
