Diego del Castor

This gypsy guitarist was born at Nº 8 Calle Ronda in Arriate, Málaga, and at an early age moved with his family to Gastor, the place from where he took his artistic name.

Diego Flores Amaya left Gastor when he was just ten years old, and went to live in Moron de la Frontera with his family, where his father, who was a wealthy horse and cattle dealer, had several businesses. Diego started to learn to read music when he was a child, but it was something that he would not continue with as he soon became interested in the flamenco guitar.
