Description
We invite you to discover Lorca’s roots in the town of Valderrubio , amid the beautiful landscapes of the Vega Granadina, with a journey through his adolescence and youth, at the same time discovering the rural Spain of a century ago, and the customs and experiences that shaped Lorca’s personality.
Discover the deep Vega plains that marked the poet’s life forever, visiting the places that inspired him to write the most important, best-known rural dramatic plays in contemporary culture.
In addition to other places, you will get to visit the house (now a museum) where he spent his teen years and youth, and the site that inspired the play The House of Bernarda Alba, as well as walking through the favorite spots where young Federico spent the most tender moments of his youth.
Our guides, professionals with a passion for Lorca as a figure and the history and city he lived in, will help you follow in his footsteps through the different corners of the Vega region, which set the stage for his journey through this world.
The tour ends at Mariana Pineda Park in the town of Valderrubio, where we will then be taken back to the city center of Granada.
