Since it opened in 1956, every night it has provided a unique, one-of-a-kind experience thanks to its commitment to the highest quality both in the artistic programming as well as in the culinary offering and customer service. It should come as no surprise, then, that it features in the world's most famous travel book, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, a New York Times best-seller comprising a selection of the most iconic places on Earth. It has also been recognised as the World's Best Flamenco Tablao by the International Cante de las Minas Flamenco Festival, as well as with the City of Madrid Award given by the Spanish capital's city council, which has also been awarded to the Prado, Thyssen and Reina Sofía museums.
