i suggest you check out calle sierpes if you want some nice stuff, including flamenco-style dresses and clothes from spanish designers, but there are usually better deals (especially for shoes) on calle san jacinto because fewer tourists go there. - Jessie

also, for good flamenco music and dancing, go to casa de la memoria on calle ximenez de enciso in barrio santa cruz. it's inexpensive and the venue is small, but the performance quality is much better than you will find at the tablados. - Jessie
