She was awarded the Medal of Merit of Tourism in [[Barcelona]], the Lasso of the Lady of the [[Order of Isabella the Catholic|Order of Isabel la Católica]] award, and given the title of Adoptive Daughter of [[Begur, Spain|Begur]].

Three years after her death (1966) she was honored by a monument placed in the Amusement Park of Montjuic. Buenos Aires has a street named after her. In Madrid in the "Tablao" Los Califas, she was honored by a tribute performance in which many artists participated, including Lucero Tena, Mariquilla, and Felix de Utrera.

In 1988, as an homage to Carmen Amaya, the Tablao de Carmen was founded in the [[Poble Espanyol]], the very place where she danced for the King of Spain [[Alfonso XIII]] during the inauguration of the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition. Tablao de Carmen displays some of the photographic legacy of Carmen Amaya. The guitar of her husband Juan Antonio Agüero (by Santos Hernández 1930) is a part of the patrimony of the founder family of Tablao de Carmen and it is played in the Tablao on special occasions.
