Flamenco


We were wary of a tourist-trap experience when it comes to flamenco in Sevilla. Every hotel advertises “true Andalusian experiences” but many can be overpriced, tourist-only shows, lacking in atmosphere and authenticity.
At 10.30 PM, there was almost no one inside Carboneria, a huge old coal deposit turned into flamenco bar, but we were told to come back in half an hour for the show. Somewhat skeptical, we left for dinner. When we came back, at 11.15, the whole place was packed. And for good reason.
