However, Barcelona is not famous for its flamenco. Though some flamenco acts have come out of the city (Ojos de Brujo being the most famous), Flamenco has far more in common with the south of Spain and Madrid than Barcelona.
Still - if Barcelona is your only stop in Spain, seeing a flamenco show there will certainly do you no harm.
Note: I have never seen any of the flamenco shows on this page so cannot say if they are any good or not.
1. Opera and Flamenco
2. Tarantos Flamenco Show in Barcelona
Apparently one of the oldest flamenco 'tablaos' in Barcelona, opening its doors in 1963.3. Flamenco at Tablao Nervión, Barcelona
"Our Restaurant / Live Flamenco Show, a family business founded in 1980 and located in the heart of Barcelona, near Picasso Museum and the Cathedral."Address: C/Princesa 2
4. Tablao Cordobes Flamenco Show in Barcelona
Very central flamenco show. Famous artists have performed here.Address: Las Ramblas, 35
5. El Patio Andaluz Flamenco Show in Barcelona
Flamenco bar, described as 'rather touristy' by Frommers.Two shows per night, at 10pm and midnight. As with any flamenco show, always see the later showing. This is the one more Spaniards will attend so the performers are more likely to do something 'authentic'.
6. Tamblao de Carmen Flamenco Show in Barcelona
Flamenco show in the Poble Espanyol on Montjuic, which is a very touristy spot to have a show.Address: Avda. Marqués de Comillas s/n. Poble Espanyol de Montjuïc.
7. Palacio del Flamenco in Barcelona
Two shows per night (see the later one) with meal or drink. The only drink offered is sangria, which makes me cringe. Why? See this article on What Bartenders in Spain don't want you to know about sangria.Address: Balmes, 139
