Hello Everybody!
I'm not going to open new topic, 'couse my question is the same as this one, but I'll be in Barcelona tomorrow=) ... and then to Madrid
I see that here are not a lot of answers, but may be someone can help me with another thing. I'd like to buy cajon (in Madrid, I think better). Is Mario Cortes the best cajon builder in Spain, or you can recomend me someone else? And may be someone can give me an adress of any music stor to try more of them.
Thank You!

Hi Rumba russo,
I have heard that Duende are better, and have tried one brought over to England by my teacher--awesome!!.
Try one when you are there before you buy.
Tell us about your trip when you get back

I go in 2 weeks time , I cant wait to visit htis vibrant city . Ill be checking out a club called the Sugar Club , with any luck there will be salsa and lounge music as Im told this place is packed to the rafters with salseros most weekends . also Ive done some more research on the net and it looks like the trend is lounge which is my fave music to chill to. budah bar amongst many others .
Plenty of street nusic on you tube indicates tates of cuba and latino music . no surprise I guess it is Spain the capitol of cuban toungue and othe Lationo isla`s in the carribean 
Im meeting a brother From mantanzas who arrived in Spain 2 months ago . Antonio is a brother I met while on Holidays in Varedero 2 yrs ago . his word s "I cant believe your an english man talking about my culture and mu music " we will have lots to talk about thats for sure . he has some music Cd`s for me some live mantanzas Bembe and all the usual suspects Los Munequitos . Im realy loking forward to this trip , winter has been too long for me Il report my findings here when I return for future visitors .
Im sure to be checking out the music store too :p

I´m already here! Incredible city! Very beautiful!
I´ve found a small shop there are three cajones, one without name =), another from Cortes and third named Peru. Last one sound best of them, but it is from Germany=)
Going to find a big stor to be able to try more models...
But this is not the most important thing, ´couse I´m traveling together with my lovely wife, and here are many things to do...
