About Nestor . . .
" I’m Néstor Blanco and I was born in Argentina. Music has always been part of my life; when I was 14 years old I was a member of a rock band! I studied guitar and harmony at the “Walter Malossetti Jazz School” in Buenos Aires and I completed training in composition, classic guitar, improvisation, folklore, tango and jazz guitar. I composed music for theatrical performances, advertising and various artists. I’m part of the “Blanco & Mayr” duo of Latin American music and I participated as a guest to several concerts in the theatre of Pontevedra…”

Pontevedra
Pontevedra is situated in Galicia, Spain, and is the region’s most southern sea facing province. Pontevedra is historically famous, culturally rich and has a significant number of architectural attractions worth seeing. It has a very well preserved medieval town centre along with many small and popular squares, most of which have cafes and bars around them. The Franciscan and Dominican monasteries and the Claritin convent, are all part of Pontevedra’s artistic heritage and interwoven history. The uniqueness of the Galician culture is also demonstrated in the local gastronomy. Shellfish is very popular in Galicia and seafood is considered the staple diet. Galicia harvests more fruits of the sea than anywhere else in Europe; the sand beds of the coastline, and the many fishing ports, make this possible.
