What’s Included and What’s Not

For $136, you get a well-rounded evening that includes a tapas tasting menu featuring five shared dishes plus dessert.

The Dining Experience

The dinner is typically served at a charming restaurant—in this case, Petit Comite. Guests have praised the beautiful presentation of the food, with some describing it as varied and typical of the region. One reviewer, Marco, noted that the staff provided informative and friendly service, making the meal not just about the food but also about the cultural storytelling.

However, Marilyn, another guest, felt that the meal could be improved, suggesting that while the show was spectacular, the quality of the food might be a bit uneven. This highlights that while the overall value is strong, expectations for a gourmet experience should be tempered—think more authentic local dishes than haute cuisine.

The Flamenco Show

The highlight for many is the flamenco performance. With more than 10 artists, the show offers a vibrant display of music, dance, and emotion. Guests consistently mention the passion and intensity of the performers, noting that the movements and expressions are remarkable. Marco was especially impressed with the dancers’ facial expressions and movements, calling it worth every penny.

The setting itself is cozy and intimate, allowing viewers to feel closer to the performers than in larger venues. During the performance, you can simply sit back, enjoy a drink, and soak in the raw emotion that flamenco embodies.
