Gran Gala Flamenco - Barcelona's most watched flamenco show
The Gran Gala Flamenco has been part of the Palau de la Musica Catalana program for over 18 years without interruption, making it the most watched flamenco show in Barcelona's history. Unlike in the city's small tablao venues, here you can experience professional choreography by the most renowned compañías of the Catalan and Spanish dance scene - in the spectacular concert hall of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The show takes you on a journey through the different palos of flamenco: from the festive bulería to the concentrated soleá and the dynamic alegría to tango, guajira and farruca. Castanets, fans, drag dresses and original live music merge into an experience that shows the whole range of this art form.
The Gran Gala Flamenco takes place all year round, usually in the large concert hall (Concert Hall) of the Palau, with show times at 20:00 or 21:30. The dates are regularly sold out - booking online in good time secures your place and offers free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance.
