Our History

The history of Zambra flamenco in Granada is deep and rich, dating back to the innovations of Antonio Torcuato “Cujón”, a prominent Romani from Ítrabo.

It was he who, in a blacksmith shop in the Plaza del Humilladero, conceived the idea of the first zambra. This precursor event gave way to the emblematic Zambra de los Amayas in Sacromonte, led by Captain Juan Amaya in the early twentieth century.

What is the Best Cave in Granada?

Granada is famous for its flamenco caves in the Sacromonte neighborhood, but if you are looking for an authentic and art-filled experience, la Cueva de Los Amayas stands out as one of the best. Its traditional atmosphere, natural acoustics, and proximity to the artists make each show unforgettable.

The best place to experience flamenco in Granada is undoubtedly a cave in Sacromonte, where this tradition was born and remains alive. In particular, la Cueva de Los Amayas offers a pure flamenco show, with top-level dancers, guitarists, and singers, in a space that breathes history and flamenco passion.

Yes, it is totally worth it. Flamenco is an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO and attending a show in a Granada cave like Los Amayas is a unique way to connect with Andalusian culture. It is an experience that excites even those who do not know flamenco.

The flamenco show at the Cueva de Los Amayas lasts approximately 1 hour. During that time, you can enjoy different palos of flamenco: from dances with a lot of rhythm to songs that really move you. Everything happens in a special, very close environment, where you feel the passion and energy of flamenco from the first minute.

There is no strict dress code, but it is recommended to dress comfortably and appropriately for a cultural event. Many people opt for casual but elegant clothing, especially if they are going to have dinner or a drink before or after the show. It is not necessary to dress up, but avoiding overly sporty or beach clothes helps maintain the special atmosphere of the show.
