Located in Plaza Nueva, La Alboreá is centrally located and accessible by foot from anywhere in the old town of Sacromonte, or the "holy mountain." An area with a rich history and culture, largely drawn from the Romani groups that inhabit it, Sacromente is most widely known for its vibrant flamenco shows performed at the hillside cave venues.
La Alboreá, in particular, has earned a reputation for its unique and authentic flamenco shows. Its focus on retaining the traditional spirit of the art led to the venue favoring natural acoustics over state-of-the-art sound technology. The performers are also often notably from well-known families of Sacramento with a long lineage of performers before them. The tablao has hosted flamenco greats like Trini de la Isla, Alicia Morales, Lucía 'La Piñona', El Choro, Pol Vaquero, Lola Pérez, and many more, cementing itself as an indispensable part of Granada's flamenco legacy.
