Guitar shopping

So far I've been enjoying myself very much, and haven't really missed home at all. The one thing I did miss however, was my guitar. Don't get me wrong, I'm no professional, I'm not even a gifted amateur, but I do enjoy playing, or at least trying to.The Spanish invented the guitar. So finding one here should be easy right? Well, sort of. As obvious as it may sound, most of the guitars in Spain are Spanish guitars, and finding an acoustic was a little more difficult.

After a good couple of hours printing off Google maps of guitar shops, and a good couple of hours of marching around the city 'sin exito' (without success), I chanced upon a tiny little piano shop, fronted by a funny little señor, dressed as if he was on his way to the opera. This eccentric and friendly fella had just the guitar for me, with 'el mejor relación calidad/precio' (the best quality/price ratio).



Now I have a guitar once more, and I truly feel at home. Maybe I'll actually come home when I can play like this:
