This house is situated in Toledo. The pictures of him with a reddish shirt playing a Carrillo Blanca were taken at the time of the release of his album 'Cositas Buenas' in 2004. The padded ceiling is the room where he had his personal recording studio that was later transferred to his new place in Majorca.
Some titles of 'Cositas Buenas' were recorded in this room.
At the end of his life his favourite place wasn't Toledo anymore. He had bought a house with 40,000 square meters of land full of olive trees in the Son Anglada neighbourhood of Palma de Mallorca and still spent time in México, the country where he met his second wife.
Aww you almost hurt my feelings....but I don't know how to play "seguirillas.". I can do a little siguiriyas after I get warmed up...
However I admit to being a payo. My Nicaraguan-Irish best buddy Renaldo M. de la S. T. once said, "Pues, es gringo de los gringos, pero es buen compañero."
Here you have a better version of this visit to Paco's house in Toledo where more details are to be found as well as some playing by Rafael de Dios, a former PdL Foro member playing a PdL Blanca and then a Negra guitar (6:19 and 6:32)...

Beautiful...but kind of creepy too. The house in Mexico would have been more fun I think.
When I first arrived in Andalucía as a darn payo, I thought that people had not learned to write, because they wrote the sounds: "Pescao frito or pescaito". How wrong I was
Follar y foyar sound exactly the same and any guapa would understand. Her reaction, of course, might be unpredictable.
As to the PdL series guitars built by VC from 2001 to 2008 it is interesting to know that the first luthier Paco and Ramón wanted to comission for the building of intruments carrying the PdL label was José Romero.
The only reason why he didn't work for PdL was because, as he works alone in his shop, he couldn't build the more than 20 pieces a year required by the brothers at the time. Being a good fellow he suggested his friend VC in Casasimarro...

I remember him from his busking days in Salamanca. Seemed like he was out there almost every day.
