Researchers and archivists working at the Provincial Historical Archive in Málaga made the surprise discovery of some XVIII century musical scores sealed within notarised documents.
Also in the surprise package was a drawing of a woman apparently learning to play the guitar.
The musical scores are for Baroque guitar and date from between 1708 and 1722. They are in delicate condition due to the type of ink used and as a result of being folded but an attempt will be made to restore them.
