Flamenco at Night in Granada: Sacromonte Cave Shows and Where to Go After

A flamenco night in Granada, Spain, usually means a zambra in a Sacromonte cave: the late shows start at 21:15 to 22:30, cost from about 24 to 25 € with a drink (Granada Direct, updated August 2026) and last around an hour. Getting up is easy on the C34 bus from Plaza Nueva. Afterwards, the Albaicín and Plaza Nueva have bars open late. One thing to know before you plan: El Camborio, the cave club many guides still recommend for after the show, no longer runs club nights.

What a Sacromonte zambra is

The zambra is the flamenco born in the Sacromonte. Its roots go back to the 15th century, when Moriscos settled on the hillside and lived alongside Gitano families. The zumrã was the party the Moriscos held at weddings; Granada's Gitanos adopted those rituals and added their own, and the result is a show danced inside the cave, inches from the audience, unlike the stage of a tablao. Flamenco as a whole was declared Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2010. Granada Direct counts 17 tablaos and cave venues in the city.

Night shows: times and prices

How to choose a show

• For the cave itself, go up to the Sacromonte: María la Canastera is in the cave where the dancer of that name lived, and Venta El Gallo is a bigger venue for 100 to 140 people with a terrace.
• For a late start, the 22:30 pass at Venta El Gallo or Jardines de Zoraya leaves you out around midnight, the right time to move on.
• For something less touristy and cheaper, Vimaambi in the lower Albaicín showcases young local artists on Friday and Saturday.
• If you'd rather not climb, Casa Ana and Tablao La Alboreá are by Plaza Nueva.

Getting up and down the Sacromonte

The C34 minibus (Sacromonte–Centro) leaves from Plaza Nueva roughly every 20 minutes; it can also serve the lower Albaicín but doesn't reach the Mirador de San Nicolás, which is on the C31 (about every 12 minutes from Plaza Nueva, Carrera del Darro or Paseo de los Tristes). A single ticket is 1.40 €. Our source doesn't give the last bus of the night, so check the timetable before a late show, or pick a package with transport: María la Canastera has one at 29 € and Venta El Gallo includes it from 33 €.

After the show: where the night goes on

Here's the honest part. For years the answer was El Camborio, a club in caves on Camino del Sacromonte with views of the Alhambra and Erasmus Thursdays. It no longer works as a club: its nights account posted for the last time on 13 March 2020, and today El Camborio only offers weddings and events. Guides from 2023 to 2026 still recommend it, so don't climb up expecting a party.

What you can do instead: walk down to the Carrera del Darro and Plaza Nueva. El Eshavira, on Postigo de la Cuna, is a jazz and flamenco club that has been going since 1989 and stays open until late. Efecto Club, on Cuesta de Santa Inés by the Carrera del Darro, is a small house and techno club open Friday and Saturday from 22:30 to 04:00. And from Plaza Nueva, the clubs of the centre are a short walk: Granada 10 is on Cárcel Baja by the Cathedral.
