Hey guys, Thanks for your posts, ive been busy. quote:
Hey Stu, A remote place, that'll be the Alpujarras then. Just a guess but if you are up in the mountains it is very beautiful. I know people who go up there and have not come back down for years. There is always an Autumn Flamenco Festival in Granada but not sure of exact dates yet. There is sure to be a few things going on here, there usually is Monday nights El Niño at the Upsetter, sunday night concerts at the Eshavira, Saturday nights at La Chumbera and stuff happening at the Peña Platería. Let us Granainos ( that's me and Pimiento) know when you are in town and we can meet up. Kate Hey Kate, I have just found out that we are actually staying about 2hrs from Granada in Carratraca, however this won't stop me from coming to Granada. I will hopefully try to come on the 3rd/4th Oct (early morning) and stay the day and possibly eve. I'll PM you guys closer to the time and see if its possible to meet up. I am hoping to get in touch with Jingle too who I understand is now in Granada working with Emilio. Ailsa gave me his contact details and some info after her visit/studies with him. My plan is to try and do something similar later this year or next year and thought it might be cool to try and meet him this time round. Not sure if this will be possible though. Anyways, yes Anders I got the loop. Thanks mate. I cant remember if I replied by email.

Folks, you have been most helpful, all the places you speak of sound just as appealing really. I wanna visit all of them!!! and perhaps I will.... quote:
Stu - don't forget Fuengirola Feria - one of the biggest and best in the region - should be on around 6th -12th October. There'll be something there for everyone, so your non-flamenco friends would have a good time. Hey Val thanks for this info! Fuengirola feria sounds good and the timing sounds perfect! Ill look into that. quote:
quote: british ex pats and trashy british tourists getting very, very drunk and being fools Trashy British tourists tend not to be much into Flamenco! Lots of ex-pats in the area, sure - although perhaps not so many in Malaga itself, which, incidentally is a most beautiful city with lots to see. The town where I have a place has lots of English. There's even an English bar up my street where the drunks roll home loudly late at night. On the other hand, I think there are 3 English members of the local Peña and I'm one of them. After a good night, I regularly witness our Spanish members quote: getting very, very drunk and being fools haha! I hope I didn't come across like I don't like people having fun and getting drunk. I was just afraid I was gonna end up in the wrong part of town with crazy binge drinking brits, Ibiza style, football fan type culture!! you know the sort?! Anyways thanks again. are you still doing the guitar course val??? Stu quote:
Edit: HUGELY informative site. This site is from a shop in Malaga run by one of the most enthusiastic aficionados I've ever come across. Check out the Agenda links. He tells you what's going on everywhere in the region month by month - CORRECTION: DAY BY DAY cant get that link to work
