Classical and flamenco guitars differ in construction and setup. You can have a flamenco guitar that doesn't buzz, and you can have a classical that does. Flamencos prefer the low setup which always has the potential for buzzing and classical guitarists are trained with strings I would consider extremely high that will not buzz.
Ultimately it's very much personal preference, but flamenco guitarists tend to prefer a little buzz.

I have never seen a guitar that was functional that could not buzz if you play it in a way to make it buzz.

The main point of a flamenco guitar, that doesn’t matter at all for a classical, is that you want a LOW bridge, but a neck angle that allows the action over the fingerboard to NOT BUZZ TOO MUCH.

If it's buzzing it could be a wasp. 🐝

ZAP! dum-dee, ZAP! dum-dee....

Sounds classical to me.

It's pretty hard to make my '73 Romanillos buzz like that, with the basses set up 4mm at the 12th fret, but Bream makes it happen every time on #501, even with his palm on the bridge.

I suppose the video is censored because we get a view of "La Maja Desnuda" at the end. Some say that the model for it and the clothed Maja at the beginning was the Duchess of Alba. Then, as was the recent Duchess, she was the most titled and richest woman in Spain. She and Goya were friends. The lyrics of the tonadilla make a sly reference to a rumored affair between the two.
