Description
We invite you to visit Lorca’s first home in the town of Fuente Vaqueros, and the lovely sites in the Vega Granadina, a journey through the rural Andalusia of the past century, seeing the changes experienced in the village after the Spanish Civil War and the recovery of historical memory.
Discover what the family home was like, along with the streets and corners which formed part of Lorca’s early childhood, getting a close look at the places that now honor his figure and were once part of the poet’s daily existence, delving further into several stages of his life in which the concepts of ‘‘the people" commitment to society and native culture were most influential on him.
Among other places, you will visit the house/museum where he was born, the center of studies on Lorca that once housed the town’s school and walk around some of the places that Lorca mentions in his best-known works.
Our guides, professionals who are passionate about Lorca as a figure and the history and city in which he lived, will help you follow in his footsteps around the different parts of the plains that marked the poet’s lifetime.
The tour ends in Fuente Vaqueros, where we will then be taken back to the city center of Granada.
