Hi Aammaguiar,
I was there this year for a week with two frends, We played on the street over there and where invited for some parties.
Even jammed with the Baliardo family.
Lot of Rumba Catalan, and Django style.Also Romanian gipsy music.
The only who played flamenco was me, and they very much apreciated it.
But with the three of us we played Rumba style, and that is what they enjoy the most.
They do not mind if you are a Payo or not, got most compliments and applause on the streets from gipsy's. But when we walked with the guitars after playing to a terras to drink something we got kicked of by the local people.
They thought we where gipsy's, strainge world...
10.000 Gipsy's are coming to the place, never feeled uncomfertable,
For the flamenco it is not the best place, but the Rumba, and Gipsy music in general and ofcourse the ambiance is perfect.
There is a bar called "Le Felibre" there are coming the "incrowd" There is late in the evening music, be sure you are there till late, because it is happening after 2400 hour
Maybe my frends and me will go back next year....
feel free to email me or ask here if you have more questions.
Peter
