The Academy of the Laguna de la Feria

Where did flamenco guitarists learn, with no school and no sheet music?

Flamenco guitar had its informal academy at the Laguna de la Feria.

Here I share chapter VI of my micro-stories of the Alameda de Hércules, a historical walk through where flamenco lived its splendour.

I’ll tell you how as we walk through the Alameda de Hércules, just as the French traveller Charles Davillier told us the violin anecdote in his book L’Espagne (1874). I’ll give you the context, the circumstances, the anecdotes and more on this wonderful route, to discover and honour the legacy of those who made flamenco possible as we know it today.
