buy a guitar in Andalucía

Hi,
I'm not new to this forum, since a while I'm here as a silent reader.
I play or better learn classical guitar since many years and since a few month I have a new teacher who tries to teach me flamenco. We both struggle very hard ...
Anyway now I want to buy a flamenco guitar.
And for this I have a special issue: I'm looking for shops or luthiers in the region Sevilla, Jerez or Cadiz where I can buy a guitar, prefered a used one, roundabout for 1000€.
Any recommendations?

Thanks a lot

I would recommend to visit this luthier (in Sevilla).

Honestly 1000€ is only going to get you a good student model flamenco which is fine for starting out. Here that would get you something like a Navarro or Salvador Castillo both from Mexico. My guitar came from Granada and I understand there are several good luthiers there. Good luck on your flamenco adventure.

Why does he struggle?? Because he doesn't know flamenco????
You may need a new teacher..........

Thanks for your comments.

I'm back from my journey, and I was successful.
I found a lutier who will build a guitar for an acceptable price. Ok, it does not really meet my first idea...

Thanks, Flamencito, for this tip in Sevilla. I was there and played some guitars, but it doesn't fit to me.

For all who are interested for buying a guitar of this region I recommend
http://lutieresdecadiz.org/lutieres/
and
http://www.guitarrasartesanales.es/index.php?option=com_content&view=featured&Itemid=101

especially the guitars of Esteban Eijo and David Peñas Vargas are very fine and have moderate prices.
