Hi,
If the set up is correct a regular set of hard tension classical strings should do fine.
Remember the action of a Classic Guitar is higher than a steel string or electric.
Norman height for a Classic is, 8/68 for the hi-E and 10/64 for the Low.
You may need a new saddle ? Hard to say without the guitar in hand.
