Juan Andrés Maya was born in the very heart of Granada’s gypsy quarter, Sacromonte. With deep artistic roots—Mario Maya, Manolete, Juan Maya Marote—he has toured the world since the age of 3, becoming a leading figure in flamenco dance and the artistic director of Madrid’s most renowned flamenco tablao.
Tablao Flamenco La Carmela has become one of the best flamenco tablaos in Madrid and all of Spain, bringing to its stage artists such as Juan Andrés Maya, Remedios Amaya, Antonio Canales, El Farru, Kiki Morente, La Lupi, Alba Heredia, Iván Vargas, among others…

THE TABLAO
A historic corner in the very center of Madrid
La Carmela, Madrid’s flamenco tablao, is located in the former coal cellars of the “La Carmela” tavern, inside the old Convent of La Victoria, demolished in 1836 after the Peninsular War.
The Tablao is one of the best I’ve seen in Madrid, without a doubt—so much talent. You can tell they have it in their blood; Juan’s talent is a real spectacle on stage.Y la cantante fenomenal, sin duda alguna un pedazo de artista ❤️ y para terminar pedimos un menú Castizo muy buena comida 100% recomendable

The best tablao!!! A must-stop if you want to experience the true art and essence of flamenco!!! You leave amazed, moved, and eager to learn more and more about flamenco culture. Tali, the goddess of the show, captivated us with her words, conveying the beautiful performance with passion and great wisdom—and thanks to her we went into La Carmela and bought our tickets!!!! Only words of gratitude, and I hope many more people can live this wonderful experience.

We went to Juan Andrés Maya’s tablao and booked with Natalia, a very kind and attentive girl. Of the many tablaos we’ve been to in Madrid, this one seemed the best by far—truly an excellent show. The musicians, singers, the flamenco dancer, and he himself were SPECTACULAR: his energy, professionalism, and what he conveys, very approachable. God bless you and your loved ones, and may you continue to have success—we were delighted to meet you.

Simply wonderful! A show that anyone passionate about flamenco has to experience. It’s different from the traditional—but on a grand scale! I’ll definitely be back. Every single artist gives more than expected, with so much passion it fills your heart and gives you goosebumps. Congratulations to the group!!

An unforgettable experience—pure art, both the tavern and the flamenco tablao. The dancers are pure art. I recommend it 100%!! It won’t leave you indifferent; what you experience in that tablao is indescribable.

Excellent flamenco show—comprehensive and very well executed. The venue is lovely, and the drink included with the ticket was very good. Highly recommended.

🩰❤️🎤 A flamenco show that’s different, original, and entertaining, set in a spacious cave. Lots of passion, excellent performances, and very talented artists.
The restaurant is spacious too and offers a high-quality culinary selection, especially for such a central area. The burrata is top quality, and the zamburiñas (small scallops) with kimchi are very tasty as well. Attentive, fast service and an international vibe.
