About The Palace Dalmases Barcelona

Seating chart
History
Architecture
  • The Palace Dalmases is a wonderfully imposing venue, but it hosts its flamenco shows in a more intimate setting called the Palace Room.
  • The Palace Room was originally a stable. It was refurbished to host flamenco shows but retains its old sections and stone walls.
  • The space can host a maximum of 50 patrons at a time across three seating tiers: the Back Row, Middle Row, and Front Row (VIP) sections.
  • The rear and middle row seats are affordably priced and offer decent views, while the more expensive front rows offer an immersive experience. Since the venue isn't raked, all rows are on the same level, and rear seats won't always have unobstructed views.
  • The front-most row of each section offers the best legroom.
