Hidden in the narrow cobbled residential street of Calle Céspedes in the Jewish quarter of Seville. La Carboneria is a former coal storage place turned bar, welcoming both locals and tourists.

What I like about it
La Carbonera offers 30 min nightly flamenco shows at 20.30, 21.30, 22.30 respectively, by the same single group of the night. All you need to do is buy a drink at the bar.
