We played the game last year and tried it again today because we noticed it had been updated with the city’s newly renovated areas. We absolutely loved it! It was also really uplifting to see how the city, which for so long had been little more than a port, is finally growing and reinventing itself. Exploring the new port park especially made it clear that the city is regaining the sense of inspiration it once offered to Paco de Lucía.

I liked the idea of the quest (not so much the counting letters and things, which doesn't really have anything to do with anything in the quest I thoight). It helped me understand how the city must've been really nice when Paco grew up here and inspired him. It also made me incredibly sad to understand how much it got messes up since, to become so incredibly ugly, it is hard to imagine it would today inspire anyone :(

Great surprise! We spent the weekend in Tarifa and while waiting for the train to Madrid, we decided to play the city game in Algeciras: loved it!

Frequently asked questions

How can I experience Algeciras’ flamenco soul in a unique way?

Walk the same streets that inspired Paco de Lucía with Unravelling Algeciras: Paco de Lucía’s Legacy. This self-guided city game blends music, history, and riddles, turning plazas and hidden corners into live chapters of a flamenco legend.

We’re a couple planning an evening out—any romantic ideas?

Yes. Start with sunset views at the waterfront, then follow the quest through lantern-lit streets. Solving clues together while hearing stories of love and music gives the night a poetic, intimate vibe.

I’m visiting with children—will they enjoy a music-themed quest?

Definitely. Kids love hunting for street art and statues while listening to tales of guitars and flamenco rhythms. The route is short and flexible, so you can pause for ice cream or playground time whenever needed.

Can a group of friends make this into a lively outing?

For sure. Whether you stay together or split into teams, decoding clues about Paco’s life adds friendly competition and laughter. End the game in a local tapas bar to keep the energy going.

What neighbourhoods and landmarks will we explore?

You’ll pass key musical sites like the Paco de Lucía monument, hidden squares with deep cultural roots, and colourful alleys that reveal the city’s Andalusian character beyond the port.
