Sean, The attraction of Granada is that it is quite simply beautiful, with the mountains, the woods, the vega, hot springs, the old Moorish buildings, the Alhambra and the Albaicin. It is also a vibrant cultural city with a wonderful night life and a thriving growing university and yes flamenco. To name a few....... Juanillo el Gitano, Marote, Juan Habichuela, Pepe Habichuela, Manuel Cano, Frasquito Yerbaguena, Enrique Morente, Mario Maya, Manolete, Maraquilla, Juan Andrés Maya, Emilio Maya, Miguel Angel Cortes, Miguel Ochando, Yerbabuena, la Nitra, Marina Heredia, Estrella Morente, the Montoyas, Carbonelas, Heredias, Carmonas.......etc. This year at La Union two of Granada's young singers walked off with prizes, Victor 'El Charico' accompanied by Emilio Maya, and also Juan Pinillo. Last year another winner from Granada was the dancer Fuensanta La Moneta, also accompanied by Emilio. Granada has good reason to be proud of her flamenco history as well as her flamenco present and we're all working towards a great flamenco future. Look forward to meeting you at Don Simon's one of these days. Kate
