Spanish Guitar Music

I would like recommendations for pretty and simple Spanish/Latin American guitar pieces.

Alternatively, etudes similar to Carcassi might work as well. Bonus points will be awarded if you can find a sample of the tune. These are for me to learn to play. Gracias, amigos.

Francisco Tarrega has lots of good, Spanish classical guitar pieces. Probably more difficult than the Carcassi etudes.

This page has both tabs and MIDIs for some of Tarrega's songs (among lots of others).

There's always the old standby, Romanza.

More complicated, but tons of fun, is Vals Venezolano #2 (as are the other Venzuelan waltzes in the series).

Folks like Sor, Tarrega, etc., have tunes of all levels of difficulty, with lots of simple gems. One great approach to finding these songs, I've found, is to just buy a book of songs. Instructional books are often good as they're going to have songs written for a specific skill level, or you can just get a standard collection of pieces.
