We connect you with a typical Spanish dance style but adapted to the roots and influences of this city! In this experience you will not only learn about the origins of the Catalan rumba and the Raval neighborhood, but we will end up in an authentic flamenco tavern learning to dance and clap like a artist.

What To Expect
Immerse yourself in a vibrant journey through the streets of El Raval, the neighborhood where Catalan rumba was born—especially on the iconic Carrer de la Cera, cradle of the Romani community and the flamenco fusion that gave rise to this unique musical style.
Discover the living history of the Romani people, the origins of flamenco in Catalonia, and the evolution of rumba from its roots to a beloved street celebration.
An interactive, rhythm-filled tour with games, flamenco clapping, and live rumba lessons—so you don’t just hear the story… you feel it in your body!
We finish with joy in an authentic Andalusian tavern, where a drink is included and dancing, celebration, and duende await.
Perfect for groups, curious travelers, and lovers of Barcelona’s living culture.
