Flamenco is king. But there are other genres and artists that influence guitarist Marcos and he continues to admire them, even though he's fully immersed in the flamenco culture. In this episode, he talks about The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Carlos Santana - just to name a few! - with as much love as he does for the Andalusian song.

Every artist was a student once - and in this episode, flamenco guitarist Marcos shares memories of his teacher, Pepe Martinez. A wonderful, colourful character, Marcos remembers Pepe as the best teacher he could ever have had. Some great stories to enjoy - including one about toilet paper!

Andalusia has eight provinces! And in this episode, Marcos is taking you on a journey through all of them. From Seville to Granada, hear about the different climate, big and small towns and cities, and the places you absolutely MUST visit when you can.
