A Tablao (colloquial term for the Spanish “tablado” or floorboard) is a place where flamenco shows are performed. In addition, the word tablao is a term also used to describe the platform floor in which a flamenco show is performed. Tablao venues were developed during the 1960s throughout Spain replacing the cafés cantantes or cabarets of the 19th and early 20th century. More intimate than theatrical flamenco productions, tablao shows are considered the places where the most authentic flamenco performances can be experienced. Casa Flamenca’s intimate performance space recreates the authentic atmosphere of a Spanish Tablao.
