Possibly the best flamenco museum in ´¡²Ô»å²¹±ô³Ü³¦Ã²¹, the Fosforito centre has exhibits, film and information panels in English and Spanish telling you the history of the guitar and all the flamenco greats. Touch-screen videos demonstrate the important techniques of flamenco song, guitar, dance and percussion – you can test your skill at beating out the ³¦´Ç³¾±èá²õ (rhythm) of different palos (song forms). Regular free live flamenco performances are held here, too, often at noon on Sunday (see the website).
The museum benefits from a fantastic location inside the Posada del Potro, a legendary inn that played a part in Don Quijote, where Cervantes described it as a 'den of thieves'. The famous square it stands on, once a horse market, features a lovely 16th-century stone fountain topped by a rearing potro (colt).
