History of the Guitar Festival in Cordoba
In 1981 the well-known guitarist from Cordoba, Paco Peña, after having toured the best stages in half the world with his music, started the Guitar Festival.
It was when the artist decided to create a flamenco meeting, which was attended by dozens of young people and artists from around the world with the aim of participating in intensive guitar courses and that without looking for it attracted neighbors and passers-by who joined to listen to the sound of their instruments.
After this, what began as learning courses became a renowned international guitar festival.
