Casa de la Guitarra
Calle Mesón del Moro 12, Seville, Andalucia, 41004
Founded by flamenco guitar legend Jose Luis Postigo, Seville’s Casa de la Guitarra showcases authentic flamenco and is a museum dedicated to Postigo’s beloved instrument. The exhibit is the first of its kind in Spain and displays some 60 antique guitars from the last three centuries, while the shows feature three performers—a guitarist, a singer, and a dancer—in an intimate setting.
