The Cardinal Herrero street is part of the historic Old Jewish Quarters of Córdoba with a long history of religious and cultural influences. Somewhere between the old synagogues, churches, and mosques, the Cardinal Flamenco Tablao sits neatly tucked away.
With its conversion to a tablao sometime in the late '80s, the venue became an integral part of the city's history. It drew inspiration from the oldest forms of flamenco and began staging the purest forms of the art at the highest quality.
