I was an exchange student for a semester in Sevilla, back in 1989. We usually went to La Carboneria (The Coal shop) once a week. It's up in Barrio Santa Cruz, and you should be shown how to get there because it can be a maze in that neighborhood. It's so cool to bring up Google maps and street view... more

I went back in 2004 for the tapas and ended up staying for the show. Both were a delight. The guy behind the tapas bar let us try various items since we were totally new to tapas in Spain and most of the choices were delicious. Afterward the show consisted of a small crowd on benches and instead of paying... more

After a few reasonably polite attempts to quiet the crowd down... more

My girlfriend and I went here one night and it was excellent. There is no cover and a lot of locals come here. It seems like the tourists come for the first show and the locals come in for the second show. First show is at 11pm and second is at 1am. The show lasts about 1 hour or so.... more
