Nice work, Pali. One of the things I like about your work is you’re not stuck, which is something I respect a lot.
I’m hoping I can visit Spain for a couple of months this fall. When I do, and if you are willing and available, I’d like to visit you in Córdoba for an afternoon, if possible. I’ll be home basing myself in Granada, I expect, so I probably won’t go to Córdoba this trip if you aren’t available because I have a few other places I need to go to, as well. One other person I’m hoping I can visit is Morante, so I’ll be contacting you guys when I have the dates firmed up. Oh, and Piwin, too, if we can swing it.

Ok, of course, it will be a pleasure, let me know before in case there is any problem. No one knows what will happen to covid-19 when the summer passes.
In Granada there are good luthiers, in general many have come out in Andalusia. here in Cordoba too.
I suppose you know, you have to be careful, many buy prefabricated things and assemble them, others spray varnish ... although it is true that prices vary a lot.
If you want something special you have to tell me now to prepare it.

Pali,
Have to say they all look great although I prefer the look of the Cypress ones, the one with the bold back strips the best.
Perhaps some day in the future I too will make my way to Spain to admire your work in person, learn a few things from you, and share a glass of wine in your beautiful city.
Jelious of Rob if he makes it there this fall. I am at risk for Covid with damaged lungs so I'll most likely be waiting another year to travil internationally.
If an angel came up to me with one wish, offering the fingers and Flamenco talant of PDL or the ability to speak Spanish fluently I would choose the mother tounge I never learned... I'm afraid this limitation would make a visit to Spain prablamatic.
HR
Almost forgot, if I made such a trip I would have you fit me for a pair of your stunning boots! Guitars I can build but boots "por nada"

I prefer my flamenco guitar spicy,
doesn't have to be fast,
should have some meat on the bones,
can be raw or well done,
as long as it doesn't sound like it's turning green on an elevator floor.

Hi Pali, I think we have a misunderstanding, and it’s my fault. I should have been more clear but I thought you already realized that I also make guitars, so I would not be visiting to purchase one. I just thought seeing your shop and meeting you could be fun, but it is not necessary if it is inconvenient to you.
The pictures of Córdoba are beautiful, by the way. Sorry about the misunderstanding.
hahahahaha, I didn't know, don't worry, I'm just a good craftsman who does a lot of things. I have a large and very nice workshop, but it is not open to the public, I only attend friends and acquaintances who like the world of classical and flamenco guitar, as well as violinist musicians.
During this last year and a half I have not allowed anyone to enter the workshop due to the covid-19 epidemic, I have gone to collect the instruments to repair and only by appointment I have allowed people I know to enter here.
Now it seems that we are going in the right direction, but until autumn arrives we will not know if we will get better or if deaths and infections will increase. Of my music group, "rondaya", two companions have died, grandparents very dear to the damn disease, so this is not a joke, you get infected and it may not affect you much, it may affect you a lot and they have to tube and you may also die ........
Anyway, send me a message when you know the dates you are going to travel, I don't care if you are a builder, hobbyist or professional, I don't care.

Pali,
tengo que decir que todos se ven muy bien, aunque prefiero el aspecto de los Cypress, el que tiene las tiras traseras atrevidas es el mejor.
Quizás algún día en el futuro yo también viajaré a España para admirar tu trabajo en persona, aprender algunas cosas de ti y compartir una copa de vino en tu hermosa ciudad.
Jelious of Rob si llega allí este otoño. Estoy en riesgo de tener Covid con pulmones dañados, por lo que lo más probable es que esté esperando otro año para viajar internacionalmente.
Si un ángel se me acercara con un deseo, ofreciéndome los dedos y el talante flamenco de PDL o la habilidad de hablar español con fluidez, elegiría la lengua materna que nunca aprendí ... Me temo que esta limitación haría una visita a España prablamático.
HORA
Casi lo olvido, si hiciera un viaje así, ¡haría que me prepararas un par de tus impresionantes botas! Guitarras que puedo construir pero botas "por nada"
Hernandez please, take care of yourself.
I am thinking that ......... maybe it would be better to do a summer course on construction and also on Spanish language hahahahahahahaha I was not just kidding around a bit.
As I have told my colleague in the previous message, I am just a good craftsman, I have never copied anyone and I only follow my instincts, I make instruments because it amuses me a lot and because I have waited many years for this moment to come, I do not worry if I sell one or four or if I don't sell any, I don't need it because I don't make a living from it.
Don't worry about beer and wine, there is a lot of good here and I invite you.
Don't worry about the language either, I chatter English and you're not going to get bored and if you play flamenco on top of that, you won't even need to speak hahahahaha.
When I finish these guitars, I estimate that in about two weeks they will be finished, I will record a video for you testing each and every one of the guitars and I will try to speak in English so that you do not have translation problems.
Do not forget that I above all and although many years have passed I am and I feel a musician.

Hi Pali, yes, the pandemic sure has fundamentally changed everything about our lives, all over the world, and will probably continue to do so for some time yet, so no plans can be certain for anyone at this time. At any rate, it was just a suggestion, no big deal, but I’ll send you a message once I know what’s happening. :)
Robf be careful and take extreme precautions when you come to Spain.
The government is not telling the truth, they are a bunch of useless and incompetent people. The infections are not controlled, people continue to die and hospital admissions do not stop increasing. The government is disguising the figures so that people travel to Spain, so that the Spaniards themselves move and consume because they have destroyed the economy.
They are offering an image of beaches, bars and sun that does not correspond to reality.
Avoid groups, closed spaces and do not leave the mask.
I will inform you as the date of your trip approaches, here in Andalusia the precautionary measures have not been modified, with many municipalities closed and still confined due to the high incidence.
Manuel.
