We attended an excellent classical guitar concert by Alvaro Munoz. He started with a piece from the Renaissance and worked his way forward chronologically. If you are looking for a guitar concert and see that he is performing somewhere, be sure to go.

Itinerary
Enjoy an exclusive Spanish guitar concert. Here each interpretation becomes a journey through time through the explanations of flamenco history. Thus exploring the works of masters such as Manuel de Falla, Francisco Tárrega, Sabicas and Paco de Lucia. Our idea is inspired by the deep connection between classical guitar and flamenco guitar, which begins in the 19th century, when musicians combined academic studies with popular guitar.

José Maria Huertas was the musician performing on the evening we attended. It was the most memorable experience, my husband and I, a small subterranean room and José playing for us alone. We lucked out as no one else had booked. José had put together a one hour program celebrating classical/flamenco guitarists from Granada interlaced with other famous classical guitar pieces. With each new piece he introduced the composer and talked a little bit about the origins of the music. Sitting right in front of José we were able to feel the passion of his playing, watch in awe as his fingers moved deftly across the strings. It was amazing, an experience we would highly recommend to anyone who loves their music.
Charming, classical guitarist. We left with more understanding of flamenco and the difference between it and classical Spanish music. A good education before actually seeing f flamenco in a theater setting.
We enjoyed the concert and learning from Pablo about Spanish and Flemenco guitar playing. We wish it could have been longer and we could have met him and thanked him after the performance. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in music.
This recital, given by Alvaro Munoz, was hands down the most memorable part of my trip to Spain. It is seldom one has the opportunity to experience a talent such as this, especially in such an intimate setting. Munoz's technique is flawless, but it is his command of musical expression that sets him apart. The music flows from his fingers into the guitar and takes you away. We were also treated to some of his own intensely beautiful compositions. The recital was interactive and informative and the artist was engaging. I highly recommend you take in one of Alvaro Munoz's recitals while in Granada.
This was a fabulous recital. The guitarist for that evening was Alvaro Munoz, an incredibly talented and personable young musician and composer. He led us from the Renaissance through to the Romantic periods of the guitar repertoire, at times interspersed with dazzling Flamenco styling. We were also treated to a number of his own compositions, which ranged from achingly beautiful to uplifting and exuberant. His technical precision was masterful but it was his artistry of musical expression that enchanted us. The intimate nature of this recital venue gave the opportunity for us to informally interact and converse with the artist. If you want to experience an up-close and personal evening of fantastic music, go to one of these recitals - especially if Alvaro is performing.
Lovely experience. Learnt and listened in gentle surroundings with a musician who was interesting, gracious and talented.
Very humble young man, I've been listening to flamenco players for the last 10 years, I've listened consistentlty to Pepe Habichuela, Tomatito, Jose del Tomate, VIcente Amigo, and many more, and Pablo Gimenez is right there .... among them, his finesse is plesant. his timing and movement on the guitar takes it to a new dimension. My wife and I loved the one hour show.
We enjoyed an amazing evening of Spanish and flamenco guitar with Pablo. His music and guitar playing was exceptional but what really made it a five star experience was Pablo’s friendly and engaging commentary, and the time he took to explain his passion for music. Do not miss this experience 😊
Pablo is an amazing musician with a passion for both flamenco and classical guitar. Besides the pieces from known composers he shared some of his own compositions that touched my soul. Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy an engaging hour of music in an intimate setting.
Up close and personal. Clearly a virtuoso, Pablo combines an intimate knowledge of the history of the Spanish guitar with spectacular playing.
Pablo is charming & a fierce guitarist. A treat to see/hear him play up close. Also, a pleasure to be gently led to a deeper knowledge of the relationship between classical & flamenco guitar.
Only one hour, but wished it was longer. History of the guitar and the music that is played was excellent.
We were so fortunate to choose to go to this guitar performance while in Spain. In a very small setting so we felt like Pablo was playing just for us, we had an opportunity to listen to several styles of Spanish and Flamenco as well as hear some about the history. I was inspired and moved; I highly recommend this unique performance.
Absolutely amazing. We have been twice before to guitar recitals at this hotel- both were brilliant. However, for us,Pablo’s clear explanation of the history and styles of music etc added even more.His guitar playing ,and the pieces he chose to play were superb.
My wife and I attended one of Pablo’s shows, with both of us leaving extremely impressed and inspired by his mix of flamenco and traditional Spanish classical guitar. I’d recommend anyone who has the chance to catch one of Pablo’s shows — it was one of the highlights of our time in Granada. Cheers from Australia!
A great evening venue, where you have the opportunity to see a "classical" Flamenco artist in a more intimate atmosphere. The artist, which is top notch musician presents different styles of this great music and interacts with the audience for a personal learning experience. For those who want to understand Flamenco better, it is highly recommended
Pablo’s guitar recital in Granada was wonderful. His blend of classical pieces and fiery flamenco is packed with emotion and technical brilliance. Every note feels alive, and the intimate venue makes the experience even more special. If you’re in Granada, don’t miss this! Pablo’s talent and passion is amazing.
Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical when I booked the concert online via a mass portal before our holiday. But then my expectations were exceeded: We were able to experience a beautiful and unforgettable guitar evening in an intimate atmosphere. While the streets were crowded outside during the hustle and bustle of Semana Santa, and the cuantadores screamed their souls out of each other in the Cuevas, here we found a soothing place of rest. The concert takes place in a small but fine, architecturally reduced space with exposed concrete walls and without the usual copper kettle kitsch of the Cuevas des Sacramonte. The artist took the time to introduce the audience to the wide field of both classical and flamenco guitar within a good hour, in a very pleasantly sympathetic and humorous way. The classical repertoire included probably the most popular representatives such as the Recuerdos de la Alhambra of Tárraga (with a nice soft and even tremolo and convincing modulation) and the Asturias of I. Albéniz (with a lot of depth and feeling). To flamenco music we heard an early form of Soleares, a seguiriya, a Bulerías and a(n) Tangos. The pieces were sophisticated and versatile. sthe pieces were a pleasure for both amateurs and connoisseurs. Unfortunately, the time passed far too quickly for my taste. However, I was compensated for the fact that the artist took time to talk to me after the concert (in German). I'll be back on my next visit. Thanks for the nice evening Pablo.
A very alternating program was played. Thanks to Pablo's explanations, I also understood better how the flamenco tradition works with dance and singing. Next time I will definitely come back!
Pablo was very kind and thorough. He answered all my questions professionally and was a vibrant performer. It created a beautiful atmosphere in the room. To hear!!!
