La leyenda del tiempo is the tenth album by Spanish flamenco singer Camarón de la Isla, and the first one not to feature his long-time collaborator, guitarist Paco de Lucía. It is regarded as a turning point in the history of flamenco, contributing to the popularization of nuevo flamenco (new flamenco). A commercial failure due to its departure from traditional flamenco, which "scandalised purists", the album has received widespread critical acclaim.
