Our incredible venue pays homage not only to the great figures such as Federico García Lorca, who was captivated by the profound spirit of "duende," but also to our own Tablao Flamenco Cordobés family and the cherished tradition of tablao flamenco in Barcelona. Opened in April 2024, this welcoming venue recreates the atmosphere of the Catalan capital's gypsy tablaos, which flourished in the mid-20th century as throbbing centers of Andalusian culture in the city.
Stepping into El Duende is like stepping into a vibrant tapestry of flamenco heritage. The venue is adorned with beautiful, authentic decor that echoes the spirit of the original tablaos, creating an intimate and enchanting ambiance. Each detail has been carefully crafted to transport our guests to an era where flamenco was not just a performance, but a way of life.
