In Seville, the art of the guitar is very alive, as it respects teachers and master luthiers. You wouldn’t expect any different in the city of Flamenco.
Strolling through Seville in search of guitar shops can prove to be a doubly special experience. In fact, many street performers wrap the streets of the historical district with the sounds of their guitars. The quality of our luthiers and their wonderful shops complete this unique shopping experience.
The leit motif of your route through the guitar shops will be those chords that float through the air, highlighting your experience of the city.
That’s right, Seville sucks you in from the beginning with the art of flemenco, and of course, with its essential instrument: the guitar.
The International Guitar Festival is held in Seville each year, an event honouring this instrument with the presence of famous Spanish guitarists, whether classical or flamenco. And of course, the Flamenco Biennial, which brings together the best flamenco guitarists every two years.
Seville’s different festivals give the guitar a leading role.
