A local would say...

Flamenco in its rawest form — performed in whitewashed cave dwellings by Roma families since the 14th century

The primarily gitano (Roma) neighbourhood northeast of the Albayzín, renowned for its flamenco traditions and cave homes dug out of the hillside. It still feels like the fringes of the city, literally and figuratively, as the homes alternate between flashy and extemporaneous. The Museo Cuevas del Sacromonte offers insight into the area's culture. Come for raw, authentic flamenco in the cave zambras.
