Torres Bermejas began under the name La Taberna Gitana, one of the first tablaos to emerge on the Madrid flamenco scene in 1949. The Taberna offered afternoon and evening flamenco shows and enjoyed it's peak in 1956-7 under the direction of the flamenco singer Mariano Sevilla. Sadly it was forced to close only a year later in 1958. Two years later after extensive renovations the tablao reopened under the name Torres Bermejas with a distinct decor.
