It would be such a shame leaving Madrid without attending an event like that. I don't usually watch dance shows but this is a great experience. I was highly impressed by the way the two dancers were moving, i guess it is a difficult dance to learn, and moving your feet for so long is too hard. A bit pricy though, because 31 euros for an hour and just a drink aren't actually value for money.

I recommend it. I travelled with my family to Madrid and it was a lovely activity to do together and see the city.

So convenient to see from his and then hop off if interested. Great for a rainy day as well!

I thought amazing. It is an experience to know everything in a single day.

Great way to get around town without constantly hiring taxis.
