CĆ”diz is a jewel of a place with enormous history. Itās worth visiting for that reason alone. It aināt cheap, though.
The other direction from Malaga and a relatively easy drive is La Herradura, a small fishing village thatās also a jewel of a place. Itās the home of Stephen Hill, who is a very accomplished guitar maker. Heās British, but donāt hold that against him, heās taught a lot of Spanish makers how to make guitars. Heās also taught a lot of members of the Foro, including Stephen Eden, Stu (whoās been helping you a lot), me, and Iām sure quite few others. Heās the real deal and he speaks English. He might have something on hand for sale, it could be worth contacting him and asking.
Due north of La Herradura, less than an hourās drive, is Granada, home to a god-awful slew of guitar makers. Itās almost impossible to walk down the street without tripping over one. But these are makers, many will not have anything on hand and none will come cheap. And the stores will see you for what you are and youāll find no bargains, but you will find a lot of guitars. Itās worth going to Granada at least once in your life. You really owe it to yourself to see the place, if youāve never been. But go for the trip, really I think buying a guitar there should be secondary. I guess Iāve made my feelings about that matter pretty clear on the other thread, so I wonāt start, lol.
