I hope to go to Sevilla for the Bienal de Flamenco. Here is the program. Is anyone else from the forum going? Are there good resources for finding cheap accommodation? I plan to spend a few weeks with a guitar teacher. Andy mentioned a good experience with tallerflamenco. I think these are related to the holasevilla. Any other recommendations?

I found my accomodation through loquo. In regards to teachers, depends i guess. I went with the cheapest i could find can range from 15 - 50E an hour i think. I've also had free lessons in exchange for teaching english. There's lots of people here wanting to learn english here so thats never too difficult to tee up after you put some adds up.
Also, thought I might just welcome my self to the boards. I have been reading the posts on this site for many months but have never written anything till now. It's a great little forum you have going on. Have learnt a lot here. Cheers, Manos. Thanks Manos for such useful information. If you are still in Sevilla in September we should meet up and swap Antipodean stories. Unfortunately I'm only here for another month. I deffinately don't want to be leaving so soon.
It's great here, and you quite lucky, semptember and october are probably the best months, along with april ofcourse with the feria and all. Anyway, when I was looking for a place I had a friend from here who made me a little map saying where the best places to live are hopefully the attachment works.
When looking for accomodation think of Plaza del Slavador as the centre of the city and the closer you live to there the better. Triana is also really cool, the closer to the river the better. And with teachers you can always go into a guitar shop and ask. Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of px. Keep us posted or me personally with your findings re accomodations etc as I'm really tempted Thanks for the awesome map!
