the best advice one could give. Everything is possible with those "small" guitars but they are much easier to play. I suffered a long time playing modern guitars without nails - on my guitar this was not possible. Better to play an appropriate instrument. I even play modern pieces (starting with Tarrega up to M.D.Pujol and others) on it. In the meantime I found some few classical guitars which work strung in low tension. But it needs time (and money) to find such an instrument. Most builders still follow the idea of heavy guitars hoping they would be louder (which is not the case - my small romantic guitar could well compare to a Ramirez regarding volume).
