Are you in Granada? You can't miss it
Enjoying a flamenco show at the Zambra María la Canastera is not the same as attending a performance in a conventional theatre. The caves, with their white walls and low ceilings, create an intimate and enveloping atmosphere that cannot be replicated elsewhere. This historical and cultural setting adds a unique value to the show, transporting the spectator to another time, where music and dance were the purest forms of expression.
