Today on my stroll through my library I have found a pearl by Lisa Hurlong from an article she wrote in Soundboard magazine.

“People often ask me what makes Granada so special. I tell them that Granada is the only place in the world where, instead of getting thrown out of my hotel for practicing my guitar and disturbing the other guests, the dueño of the hotel threw out the French girls who complained about my practicing. It’s a place where even the garbage man will ask me whether I play classical guitar or flamenco. Everyone in Granada is involved with the guitar in one way or another. It was no accident that from Granada a Segovia could emerge.”

This is a wonderful place to make guitars, no doubt about it. The number of great makers means that you have to always be striving to do your best and improve your guitars. The fact that clients come from all over the world means that there is always feedback from great muscians. Well, not this year but once the travel restrictions are lifted just look out!
