| 1634 | Medina del Campo, Sieteiglesias | 17cent/2/mid |
In 1634, Sebastián de Torres, guitarrero from Medina del Campo, was hired to perform in the Comedias for the festivities of Corpus Christi in the town of Sieteiglesias.
Today, only town called Sieteiglesias is north of Madrid, near Lozoyuela, east of Segovia.
This is another of the references that places some doubt as to whether the term guitarrero refers to a maker or a player.
