Spend one hour in Alegría’s small theatre near Málaga’s Muelle Uno, watching two dancers, two singers, and a guitarist perform traditional flamenco. Add dinner afterward by calling the restaurant to reserve a table. The menu includes vegan, vegetarian, and children’s choices.

“Excellent dancers, in a small setting. We went in the afternoon & there were only 7 people in the audience, and still they put on a great performance. There were 2 singers, 1 guitarist, and 2 dancers. The songs were in Spanish, and sounded very mournful, but I think they were telling a story.small”
