One question is whether you want to see flamenco in Seville at its 'best' or at its most 'authentic'. What's the difference? Well, imagine seeing BB King at a huge sports stadium. It may well be the best blues concert you ever see, but is it 'authentic'? On the other hand, a smokey blues bar in the backstreets of New Orleans is likely to have more authentic blues, but it may not be up to the standard of BB King's stadium gig.

'Tablaos' are generally speaking where you'll find a very formal and excellent performance, whereas the flamenco bars will normally be a bit more informal and more 'authentic'.
