We are big fans of the peña el Niño de Vélez, a flamenco club and school where special performances are organized a few months of the year. It is always a great musical experience because it is intimate (max there are about 60/70 visitors) and very intense. The artists give their all and at the end, visitors often get up to dance or clap along , indeed, it is hard to stay in your seat !
The Axarquía region has always played an important role in the world of flamenco. It has great flamenco festivals and peñas (flamenco clubs) and nurtures young talent. Great artists were born and raised in this region of Andalusia, such as Juan Breva, Niño de Vélez, Antonio de Canillas, Gitanillo de Vélez, Niño Chaparro, Rocio Molina and many others.

We obviously do due diligence on the property and once it is done, we explain the legal status of it as there are many different situations that the purchaser needs to be aware of. Especially in rustic land, there are a lot of different legal situations that could have a bearing on a buyer's decision to purchase a property or indeed on the price they are willing to pay. (for example, if they have AFO or not, what kind of license they have, etc…).
