Estepona dedicates a square to the local flamenco guitarist and composer, Daniel Casares

This coming Saturday, April 5th, the Estepona Town Hall will inaugurate a square dedicated to guitarist and Estepona's Favorite Son, Daniel Casares. The event will be presided over by the mayor, José María García Urbano, and will feature the presence of the artist, his family, friends, and members of the Corporation. The new space, named after the Estepona-born composer, is located next to Conejera Street.

In 2023, the City Council approved in a full session to recognize the career of Daniel Casares, one of the flamenco guitarists with the greatest international projection, awarding him the title of Favorite Son that same year and dedicating a public space to him within the municipality.

This coming Saturday, at 1:00 PM, the square bearing his name will be officially inaugurated, an area that has just undergone a comprehensive rehabilitation as part of the special intervention plan in neighborhoods carried out by the Town Hall.

Born in Estepona, “the flamenco guitarist and composer has the honor of having consecrated himself, with his effort, mastery, and art, as one of the great names in flamenco and Spanish guitar,” municipal sources explain. “The Estepona Town Hall has valued Casares' close relationship with the municipality where he was born, having become one of its best ambassadors both within and outside of Spain. With a professional career filled with national and international successes, he has always shown affection for his roots and his people, always carrying Estepona in his heart and making it more universal.”

His artistic commitments lead him to perform annually on the stages of world-renowned auditoriums, such as the Royal Albert Hall and the Barbican Centre in London, or the legendary Carnegie Hall in New York, among others.

A tireless student of flamenco, he has received awards such as the Musical Revelation Award from the Association of Entertainment Critics (New York, 2005), the National Flamenco Critic Award Miguel Acal (2005), and the National Guitar Award 'Bordón Minero' (Murcia, 1997), among others.

Last summer, he premiered in Estepona the project 'La Movida Flamenca', together with fellow Malaga native Javier Ojeda, in an original cultural proposal that was very successful.
