ORIGINAL: Guest Hi Iam living in Almunecar at the mo, things seem quite, anyone familiar with the region regarding Flamenco Hi Dave, I've been down to Almuñecar a few times with flamenco groups. Emilio played at the cultural centre/town hall there. His cousin Juan runs a flamenco bar, the whole family are flamencos, one of the first albums Harold made here was with them, unfortunately never released due to change in administration. Also check out Hotelito, a late night cocktail bar, lots of musicians hang out there and the owner is a bass player, speaks English spent a lot of time in Canada. Of course there is the Jazz festival every year, Emilio played with Jorge Prado there this year, so they do put on flamenco. I know flamencos in Nerja but the scene is so quiet now ( there was more going on in the 80s there) that they moved up to Granada to get work. In La Herradura there is a bar called the La Cochera on the sea front which often has live music, and flamenco. The family I mentioned before often performs there. Also keep an eye out for festivals which happen in many of the small outer villages. One of the finest I went to was up in the Allpujarras, at Capeillera, when I saw Estrella Morente and El Capullo for the first time. Of course more happens in summer than right now. Too cold to be hanging about outside. Hope this helps. Keep tuned to local radio and TV and ask around. kate
