I am happy to join the challenge. Here is an audio of performance of the Pavana by Gaspar Sanz adapted for the classical guitar by Abel Carlevaro. It was published in 1974 by Barry Publications from Buenas Aires under the title of Abel Carlevaro, Suite de Antiquas Danza Españolas para guitarra sobre textos y temas de Gaspar Sanz.

Santiago de Murcia - La Guastala
Here's another selection by de Murcia. I'd say it has some of the qualities that we often associate with Spanish music. I do think this one would sound much better on the baroque guitar with its "strummy" quality. I speak a bit of Spanish, but I have no idea what the title means.
