I haven’t been able to find this in the news yet, so I hope I’m not starting a rumour and will remove this post if it turns out to be false. But I have heard from a credible source that he has just passed away.
A great loss. Romanillos contributed so much to the art of the guitar in all its aspects.
RIP.

I had the good fortune to meet him and his wife when they used to come to Cádiz: they loved pescao frito, so we used to go to a bar for tapas. A very humble and agreeable man.
He was 89 and died just four months shy of his 90th birthday this June.
