Flamenco in the Saddle: Pasión y Duende at Córdoba’s Caballerizas Reales
An hour-long equestrian performance that fuses flamenco and classical Andalusian riding inside Córdoba’s historic royal stables — this guide focuses on what to expect and how the show is staged.
Flamenco in the Saddle: Pasión y Duende at Córdoba’s Caballerizas Reales.
At the Caballerizas Reales in Córdoba, Pasión y Duende del Caballo Andaluz stages an intense, discipline-driven spectacle: pure Spanish horses and riders move through flamenco-inflected choreography and the techniques of classical and regional equitation. The production ties trabajos a la mano, doma vaquera, alta escuela, amazona and garrocha into a single show and is presented in facilities that can be moved indoors or to climatized seating to ensure comfort in any weather.
