Gran Canaria: Nomad dinner show at Sala Scala

What you will see

NOMAD, Journey to the Origins is the dinner show at Sala Scala, a venue in southern Gran Canaria with more than 35 years of history. The show travels across three continents through music, dance and acrobatics, with more than 30 international artists on stage.

• Live music and dance from the cultures the journey visits.
• Acrobatic acts woven between the choreographies.
• 20 metres of screens, lighting and special effects for each part.
• A tasting menu of local produce, inspired by the zero-mile idea and designed to accompany each moment of the show.

How it works

Make your own way to Sala Scala, in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, before 20:00, when the show begins. You're seated at your table and dinner is served in courses as the show unfolds over about three hours. Allowing for arrival and departure, plan on three to five hours for the evening.

The price and the dishes on the menu depend on the ticket category you choose when booking. Drinks are not included in any of them and are ordered in the venue.

Practical tips

• Shows run only Thursday to Sunday: bear it in mind when planning your week.
• Hotel transfer is not included; according to the provider it can only be added by booking ahead, if there's space. Otherwise, take a taxi.
• Drinks are extra: factor them into your budget.
• The venue is wheelchair accessible and smoking is not allowed inside.
• You don't need Spanish: almost the whole show is music, dance and acrobatics.

Who I recommend it for

• Couples and groups looking for a different night out in the south.
• Anyone celebrating something with dinner and a show without leaving the Maspalomas area.

Who I don't recommend it for

• Anyone after a purely gastronomic dinner: the show is the star.
• Early sleepers: it finishes late.
