Premium ticket
30-minute early access
Premium ticket holders enter before showtime while the horses are still being groomed and tacked up. Watching a rider warm up in the stable corridor makes the performance more legible once it begins.
Typically around €3–4 more than the standard ticket. Worth it if you want context before the lights come on.

Pure Spanish breed horses perform classical dressage in the 16th-century vaulted arena
What you'll see
The 70-minute show is structured as a sequence of short acts in the vaulted 16th-century stables, each with a lighting change and a new piece of live flamenco music. The building itself — built in 1570 on the orders of Philip II to breed horses for the Spanish royal cavalry — becomes part of the performance.
Classical dressage
Piaffe, passage, Spanish walk — years of training made visible
Vaquera
Traditional Andalusian cowboy horsemanship at pace
Garrocha
Lance play — horse turns tight at canter, haunches low
Alta escuela
High school dressage movements, elevated and slow
Side-saddle riding
Feminine equestrian tradition in full flamenco dress
Live flamenco music
Guitar, singing, percussion — the acoustics do the rest
No Spanish needed — the show is entirely visual and musical. An audioguide app with English, French and Spanish commentary is available for context.
