RE: Very good flamenco guitars start... (in reply to Ahmed Flamenco)
Depends what you're after.... factory guitar or a luthier made one. Prices will vary accordingly, as will the feel and sound of the guitar. The quality will also vary, although you can find some excellent "factory" guitars (Hermanos Sanchis Lopez and Bernal for example - although I would advise that you try them before buying... some of them are amazing, some of them not so much).
If you can budget something in the ballpark of €1,800-€2,200 then you can find some very very good Spanish luthier made guitars (guys like David Pena, Jeronimo Perez, Graciliano Perez or Juan Labella come to mind). You should also look into Francisco Navarro and Salvador Castillo from Paracho, Mexico. And of course, there are a few very good luthiers who are Foro members here too. You should email them asking for price and options.
RE: Very good flamenco guitars start... (in reply to Ahmed Flamenco)
I think cheapest opcion would be a Cordoba, Alhambra or Yamaha, Are you going to play live? or only home use? What is your budget? There´s loads of information on this topic on this foro. Is it going to be an upgrade, or is it your first flamenco guitar. Of course you can´t expect too much of these factory cheapos, but they are acceptable for a beginner. I suggest you do a little searching on the foro. Good luck!!
