There are many places in Madrid to experience traditional Spanish music and dance, but few are of the calibre of El Corral de la Pacheca. Just by the Parque Plaza de Castilla, in the exclusive Cuzco district of the city, the restaurant is easily missed thanks to an unimposing frontage. However, cross the threshold and be treated to a slice of old Spain. Dark and atmospheric, wood and tiles, traditional and authentic, the room is filled with tables and chairs facing a large stage on which flamenco dancers stamp and twirl their way through guitar music in a blur of brightly coloured traditional dress. With the performances so impressive you could be forgiven for ignoring the authentic Spanish food, but don’t, it’s the perfect accompaniment.
