Teatro flamenco málaga

Malaga isn’t one of Andalusia’s cradles of flamenco – you need to go to Seville or Jerez for that – but the city does have a small (and lively) flamenco scene.

The origins of flamenco in Malaga

In the 19^th century, Malaga had plenty of café-theatre venues where flamenco was the main entertainment. One of the most famous was Café de Chinitas (in the lovely Paisaje de Chinitas off Plaza de la Constitución and reopened in October 2024).

Established in 1836, this was an authentic theatre-café that became one of the most important flamenco stages in Spain and a must-perform venue for the best artists. Illustrious visitors here included Lorca.

The start of the tourism boom in the 1960s led to the emergence of flamenco clubs (peñas or tablaos), although Malaga’s most famous – Peña Flamenca Juan Breva – was established in 1958 and is still going (see below).
