Navigate to parkingThe Carmen Mota flamenco show is genuinely spectacular - incredible professional dancers, stunning costumes, top-notch lighting and sound. The auditorium is relatively flat, so front rows are best. No assigned seats - arrive early for good spots. VIP is worth it if you want reclining leather seats + cava. Perfect combo: dinner at Hard Rock Café (ground floor) → show upstairs. Or: stroll the Milla de Oro → terrace dinner → show. NOTE: drinks at the auditorium bar are pricey.
