Live music in Marbella
No listings scrape and no press releases: the 12 venues below are the ones in our rated index, 4.5+ stars from 200+ reviews each, whose own record mentions live music, a flamenco show or live sessions. 10 are bars, tabernas and restaurants; 2 play on the sand.
Selection is by the venue's own record, not by a gig calendar: a venue is here only if the descriptive record in our index states live music, flamenco or live sessions. Programmes change with the season, so check the venue's own site before you build an evening on one.
