When one sees a Utube video that has had over 18 million views, one would think that alone would deem it essential viewing.
When the video in question is a "Classical"guitar performance, and by someone to me unknown, that absolutely guarantees I'll be hitting the GO button.
One can debate as to whether Michael Lucarelli is a classical guitarist.
What one cannot debate is that his performances are impressive and for that reason reach a wide audience.
Malaguena.
By the composer Ernesto Lecuona. He added lyrics in Spanish to what was originally the sixth movement of his Suite Andalucía (1933).
A guitarist friend advises it is best appreciated with the video set to 'full screen' and the volume set at a reasonably high level.
Not essential, but I do understand his reasoning.

If you decide you are a fan of his interpretive style you will find many of Michael Lucarelli's performance on Utube.
Just plug Michael Lucarelli in the search section of Utube.

I note Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata has over 8 million views.

It seems there is some Flamenco-style to this particular piece, but I agree – you can’t argue about his virtuoso guitar playing.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
My favorite Camino song is by Dan Mullins from Austrailia.....Somewhere Along the Way

Just a splash of Flamenco.
Certainly not a traditionally constructed Flamenco guitar.
But who cares?
 
That’s what I pictured in my mind that the Meseta looked like based on what everyone was saying.

I guess a walker's idea of what the Meseta is depends on what their motivation is in walking.
And to figure out the different motivations we probly need to walk a while/mile in their shoes/trailrunners/boots/etc, or maybe even bare feet.
But that's really what you pictured in your minds eye?
Have you considered that perhaps you may have an overactive imagination?
I mean I like to have a bit of salt around when it's mealtime, but that cobber, that's just damn ridiculous.
Yours, in our ongoing search for communal mental wellness,
