Many thanks for the replies. I really don't know it. It sounds very very nice to be 4,5 hours each day into flamenco lessons (cristina heeren), but if there are only foreigner players there and if the didactics are not as what you will find in private lessons maybe 2 times a week for two hours from a guitarist that you picked out because he/she inspires you a lot, then it's not a good option. Yesterday I called a guitarist from Cadiz who I got his number from a month ago when he played in amsterdam. He recomended to go to sevilla and to check out the school named: centro flamenco desevilla, of Esperanza Fernandez. The problem here is that they dont have a complete course as that of funda cristina for guitar. only for cante and baile. they do have weekly group lessons of two hours only one day of the week given by Miguel Ángel Cortés. That is 90 euro per month. He also told me that better players in Cadiz and Jerez are too busy with working/travelling To go to Jerez would be nice I think, I hear only good things. But with the language, no one I know there and no school but only hopes of finding a guitarist I like who has time to give me lessons (which probably going to be at least 30 euros an hour) might be a bit risky In Granada I have a friend who has a house I can get in for very cheap. She also knows somebody who is in the flamenco scene of Granada that she can introduce me to (Sergio Cuesta anybody know him?), but on the other hand in Granada there might be not as many flamenco exposure as in Jerez or Sevilla and the Carmen de la cuevas school seems to me like less potential than the cristina funda I would love to have one week before the 3d of ocotber (start of course of Funda cristina) to go to granada for a day or two, to sevilla to talk to funda cristina and for example this centro flamenco de sevilla, also to go to jerez to find out if there is a teacher who could give me lessons on a regular base for not too much. but I'm highly afraid that I dont have this week extra and that I dont have the money to make these trips...
