I was sorry to hear however that you did not find any flamenco. The flamencos I know in Granada play whenever they can, not simply when they feel like it. There are many so many flamenco venues such as The Upsetter, Eshavira, el Tabanco, Libreria, Duende y Raices, Peña Platería the oldest flamenco club in Spain as well as various restaurants with free performances and of course without fail every night in the Gypsy caves of the Sacromonte. In November I saw Farruquito dance, as well as Juan Habichuela Nieto accompanying Kiki the son of Enrique Morente, Emilio Maya playing guitar, Jaime 'El Parrón and el Niño de las Almendras singing and even a rare performance of Taller de Compás celebrating the Day of the Gypsies. Better luck next time :) Having lived in Granada for ten years I love reading about travellers who come to the city and love it as much as I do.
