After exploring streets associated with Paco, the Interpretation Centre lets you change the question: from where his music came from to how it transformed the guitar. This is a stop for pausing the walk and devoting time to listening, observing and recognising a career that cannot be explained simply through a list of awards. The centre occupies a 1931 building formerly used for healthcare and later by the local police. Its exhibition spaces explore family training, musical creation and encounters with other performers. The displays bring together guitars, documents, audiovisual resources and items linked to his career, alongside an auditorium for activities. Reusing the building adds another layer of urban memory to the visit. Do not try to see everything at the same pace. First choose a section about his beginnings and then another on his artistic evolution; compare what changes between them. When looking at instruments, seek information about their provenance and connection to the musician. In audiovisual displays, listen to the explanations as well as the best-known extracts: that is often where the relationship between work, artistic decisions and the resulting sound emerges. Check the address and opening hours on the centre's page before organising the day: an outdoor route does not depend on them, but this stop does. Allow separate time for the exhibition and do not promise a concert without checking the programme. On leaving, resume your walk through the centre with a piece or an idea in mind; you will read the city differently.
