Full description
Nomad Dinner Show: dinner and spectacle at Sala Scala
Nomad is a dinner show in Gran Canaria, staged at Sala Scala in Playa de San Agustín. It runs Thursday to Sunday, starts at 20:00 and lasts about 3 hours and 15 minutes. The show is built in four parts and follows the cultural fusion between Europe, Africa and America, told through music, dance and acrobatics rather than dialogue.
The room
Sala Scala holds more than 700 people. Two decades ago it was one of the best-known night venues on the island; it closed, and it has since been rebuilt from the inside out for this production, with a stage, an LED wall and the audience seated at tables around it. There is also an amphitheatre level above the floor.
The menu follows the show
This is the part that makes the evening hang together. The tasting menu is written around the same journey as the show: the starter is Europe, the main is Africa, and the dessert is America. It opens with a Canarian burrata and the bread is pan de puño de millo.
There is a full vegan menu built on Canarian cooking, a children's menu, and a gluten-free option. The tasting menu is included in the General, Premium and VIP tiers.
Where you sit
Four tiers. Solo Show is the show without dinner, seated in the sides or the amphitheatre depending on how full the room is. General is a standard table, Premium a table in a preferred zone, and VIP the best zone with exclusive sofas. The tier buys you a zone, not a specific table, and tables are shared: most seat six or eight. Separate bookings can be seated together if you say so when you book.
Drinks
Drinks are not part of the ticket and we do not sell them: you take a drinks package or order from the wine and cocktail list at the venue. There is also a cocktail pairing of three signature drinks built around Europe, Africa and America. One rule worth knowing: if one person at your table takes a package, everyone in the party takes it.
Getting there
Sala Scala is at Las Retamas 3, Playa de San Agustín. There is no private car park, but there is public parking nearby. The venue runs a transfer for every show at an extra cost, covering Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Puerto de Mogán; they call the day before to confirm the exact pick-up time. The transfer is not suitable for guests with reduced mobility, and inside the building the wheelchair lift reaches the amphitheatre only, so tell them in advance if you need it.
Booking and cancellation
Doors open an hour before the show and it is worth being there 30 minutes early so dinner service starts on time. Tickets for the same night can be bought at the box office if any are left, in cash or by card. Check the date before you pay. Once the booking is confirmed there are no date changes, no cancellations, no refunds and no credit for another night. The same conditions apply as on SCALA's own sales channels.

The venue and the welcome are already worth the trip, and the show floored us: the dancers are on another level. The meal was very good, only the wine let us down.
Le lieu et l'accueil valent déjà le déplacement, et le spectacle nous a scotchés : les danseurs sont d'un autre niveau. Le repas était très bon, seul le vin nous a déçus.
We treated ourselves to the dinner and show and came away happy: a varied, good-looking production, well served, that keeps nodding to the history of the islands. The journey through Europe, Africa and America even shows up on the plates, with pasta, couscous and chocolate; emigration and the Guanche language get a mention too.
Nos regalamos la cena con espectáculo y salimos contentos: un montaje variado y vistoso, muy bien servido, que no para de guiñar a la historia de las islas. El recorrido por Europa, África y América se nota hasta en los platos, con pasta, cuscús y chocolate; también aparecen la emigración y la lengua guanche.
Everyone who appeared on stage was seriously talented, and the overall impression left me impressed. I would pass on the recommendation without any reservation.
Talentiert waren dort wirklich alle, die auf der Bühne standen, und der Gesamteindruck hat mich schwer beeindruckt. Weiterempfehlen kann ich diesen Abend ohne Einschränkung.
Sonia looked after us beautifully, thoroughly professional and lovely with it. You can tell a show this good has a real professional behind it.
Sonia nos atendió de maravilla, con mucha profesionalidad y un trato encantador. Se nota que detrás de un espectáculo tan bonito hay una gran profesional.
Dancers of exceptional quality, with singers and performers who never let the bar drop; the show does not sag at any point. Service does not slip and the food takes you travelling. A treat in the south of the island, and I would suggest it to anyone.
Unos bailarines de nivel excepcional, y cantantes y artistas que nunca bajan el listón; el espectáculo no decae en ningún momento. El servicio no falla y la comida te lleva de viaje. Un lujo en el sur de la isla, y lo recomiendo sin dudarlo.
The production felt world class, the performers were gifted and the numbers themselves lovely. Four of us went, two of them children, and the staff looked after us from the door on, explaining things and checking nothing was missing. Tasty food, and worth seeing on the island.
Poziom widowiska naprawdę światowy, artyści utalentowani, a same występy piękne. Pojechaliśmy w czwórkę z dwójką dzieci i od progu opiekowała się nami życzliwa obsługa, tłumacząc wszystko i dopytując, czy niczego nam nie brakuje. Jedzenie smaczne, warto to zobaczyć na wyspie.
Having lived in Paris, I know the big cabarets there, and this reaches the same standard. Each scene gives way to the next with real elegance, the dancing is magnificent and the acrobatics look impossible. Nothing of that quality existed in the island's south before.
