Alegría Flamenco & Gastronomía keeps the essence of authentic flamenco alive in the capital of Málaga, as true ambassadors of Andalucía’s most genuine art form. The restaurant’s location in La Malagueta is ideal, as it is just a few meters from Muelle Uno. It has become a landmark, both for locals and visitors. Alegría Flamenco & Gastronomía offers a winning combination that captivates both novices and connoisseurs of the genre alike: combining the most authentic flamenco with traditional Andalusian cuisine.
Alegría Flamenco & Gastronomía is run by the same team that manages Jardines de Zoraya in the Albaycin, one of the cradles of flamenco in Granada. In just over three years, Alegría Flamenco has established itself as a highly popular venue, combining art and fine dining.
In the summer, there are four performances per day at 4pm, 6pm 8pm, and 10:30pm. This variety of show times offers art lovers a wide choice to attend the show.
The possibility of eating lunch or dinner prior to each show
Before the show, Alegría Flamenco audiences have the option of enjoying lunch or dinner, as well as a selection of snacks and drinks in the theatre before the start of each performance. The menu is inspired by traditional Andalusian cooking, combining local, fresh, and quality produce with modern, innovative cuisine. “The menu has been carefully designed by our Executive Chef, Carlos Ferreiro, with the aim of creating a menu brimming with “Sabor a Málaga” (Taste of Malaga),’ the company explains, a clear reference to Malga province’s seal of excellence for gastronomic products. Selection of cheeses, Iberian ham, porra antequerana (thick cold tomato soup), prawns “al pil-pil”, sea bass in gazpachuelo or Iberian pork flamenquín are some of the delicious offerings on the menu.
Large stage area with carefully curated programme of art
Alegría has a large area in which to carry out its unique artistic and culinary activities: more than 500 square metres, comprising a restaurant, terrace, stage area and interactive centre.
Taking inspiration from Spanish traditional musical cafés, Alegría manages to create an elegant yet intimate and relaxed atmosphere for its audience. ‘We want people who visit us for the first time to repeat the experience, and we also have a multilingual and professional team who will do everything possible to ensure that visitors have a great time and return’ they continue.
Alegría curates its artistic programme carefully and, with the aim of surprising its loyal audience, renews the offer weekly. ‘Every Monday we welcome different internationally and nationally renowned artists,’ they clarify. Each show features a flamenco guitarrist, two singers, and two dancers.
Throughout its three-year history, artists such as Sergio Aranda, Adrián Santana, Curro de María, Juan Requena, Delia Membrive, Moises and Fatima Navarro, Ruben Lara, Karime Amaya, Pepe Torres, Miguel El Rubio, and Juan Tomas de la Molia have performed on the Alegría stage and continue to visit regularly. Many artists from Granada are regulars due to their proximity and affinity. These include Sergio El Colorao and El Turry. A line-up of artists that represent the truest flamenco, while remaining faithful to its origins.
The authentic nature of their artistic offering has earned them the support of flamenco fans in Malaga, who recognise Alegría as a genuine cultural experience. Their audience includes regular visitors from Spain, Europe, and beyond.
