As previously announced, the international classical-guitar competition held in La Herradura each year has been on the receiving end of a prize for once.
The International Guitar Fair, which has just been held in Málaga, awarded this long-running classical-guitar competition the Premio a la Excelencia, or Prize for Excellence.
The prize was handed over on Saturday the 13th and received in the name of the La Herradura competition by the First Councillor, Juan José Ruiz Joya. Also present was the Chairman and Secretary of the Andrés Segovia classical guitar competition, Antonio Martin and Manuel Martín, respectively.
Since the La Herradura competition was first held in 1985, its prestige has grown, reaching international proportions, thanks to the quality of the participants and the strict standards laid down.
