Cardamomo

What Cardamomo does

Cardamomo (legally Proyectos Cincohermanos, S.L.) is a flamenco tablao venue operating in Madrid's historic center since 1994, located on Calle Echegaray near Puerta del Sol and Plaza de Santa Ana. The venue delivers live flamenco performances featuring more than 8 artists per show, with 4 daily performances and a weekly rotating artistic program that brings in top-tier talent from the global flamenco scene. Cardamomo positions itself as the most exclusive tablao in Madrid, leveraging a smaller capacity venue to provide closer audience-to-artist proximity than typical competitors.

The core product is the Tablao Flamenco Experience, augmented by Show + Tapas packages, special ticket tiers (50% discount for children ages 3-12, 40% Madrid resident discount, accessible seating), cancellation insurance, gift tickets, and private/corporate event hosting. The venue operates Meyer Sound professional audio systems and offers differentiated accessibility features including tactile stations for visually impaired guests and a blindfolded sensory experience kit, positioning Cardamomo as the world's first 100% inclusive flamenco tablao. The company also runs Fundación Cardamomo, a cultural foundation promoting flamenco education to children and schools.

Cardamomo operates as a direct-to-consumer business selling tickets through its multilingual website (9 languages) with seat zone selection at booking, supplemented by TripAdvisor and Google as primary tourist discovery channels and a dedicated MICE sales team handling corporate and group bookings via WhatsApp and email. The business is privately held with no disclosed venture capital or external investment; funding relationships include Spanish cultural institutions (INAEM, Comunidad de Madrid), the EU Recovery Plan, and Crea SGR. Payment processing is handled through PayPal and Stripe, with Zoho used for form capture.

Direct peers

• Tablao Flamenco Cordobes: Leading flamenco tablao on Las Ramblas in Barcelona. Comparable business model (live flamenco + dining package + tourist channel mix), targeting international tourists visiting Spain's other major cultural city.
• Café de Chinitas: Historic Madrid flamenco tablao with intimate capacity and nightly performances. Competes directly for the small-venue, close-to-artist positioning that Cardamomo emphasizes as its key differentiator.
• Villa Rosa: Historic Madrid flamenco tablao in Plaza de Santa Ana, very close to Cardamomo. Directly competes for tourist traffic in the same historic-center catchment with comparable show and dining offerings.
• Torres Bermejas: Madrid flamenco tablao in the city center offering nightly shows with dining packages. Directly competes in the tourist-oriented flamenco show segment with similar show-and-dinner pricing and scheduling.
• Los Tarantos: Barcelona flamenco tablao with multiple weekly shows and high tourist foot traffic. Directly comparable product offering (ticketed flamenco + dining) in Spain's other primary tourist market.
• Corral de la Morería: Madrid's most iconic and historic flamenco tablao, located near Cardamomo. Directly competes for international tourists, premium flamenco talent, and MICE bookings, with comparable nightly show schedules and tapas/dinner packages.
• Casa Patas: Long-established Madrid flamenco tablao with live shows and a peña (flamenco club) component. Directly competes for flamenco enthusiasts, local residents, and connoisseur audiences seeking authentic performances.

Emerging players

• Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club: Iconic London small-capacity live music venue with nightly ticketed performances and dining. Operates a comparable premium small-venue, intimate-show business model, though in jazz rather than flamenco.

Regional players

• El Patio Sevillanas: Seville-based flamenco venue offering nightly shows with dinner packages. Comparable tablao model but serves Andalusia's tourism market rather than Madrid — a regional rather than direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Blue Note: Multi-location jazz club and small live music venue operator. Comparable premium-positioned live entertainment + dining model with international tourist appeal, though at much larger scale and broader programming.
