Alhóndiga Square owes its name its name to the fact that in the Middle Ages it was the place where wheat was stored wheat. It was the public house where wheat was bought and sold.

In our establishment you will not only find Flamenco art but also culture and history, the magic and the aura that permeates our building is very special, and you can feel it as soon as you enter, because the history and the people behind it make up a whole that enriches each of the rooms.

On 1st May 1916 the first stone was laid of what was already known in other towns as the Casa del Pueblo. The building was located in the Plaza Alhóndiga and the rear façade faced the riverbank or Ronda de Isasa. It was a work of great social dimension, worthy and appropriate for the Workers’ Societies. This is how the press of the time described the event:
