Located on the fertile agricultural plains that once fringed southern Granada, the Huerta de San Vicente was the beloved summer residence of Spain’s most celebrated poet and playwright, Federico García Lorca, between 1926 and 1936. It was in this idyllic country house that Lorca penned some of his greatest literary masterpieces, including Bodas de sangre (Blood Wedding), Yerma, and Romancero gitano. Today, it operates as a deeply moving house-museum.
Inside the House-Museum: Personal Treasures of the Poet
The house preserves its original 1930s furnishings, artwork, and personal mementos:
- The Living Room & Lorca’s Piano: The historic grand piano where Lorca played traditional Spanish folk songs with friends like Manuel de Falla.
- The Bedroom & Desk: The simple wooden desk where Lorca wrote by the window looking out over the rose garden.
- Original Artworks: Drawings and sketches by Federico García Lorca, along with paintings dedicated to him by Salvador Dalí and Rafael Alberti.
Parque Federico García Lorca
Surrounding the house-museum is a sprawling, peaceful 7-hectare municipal park featuring avenues of weeping willows, a large duck pond, fountains, and one of the largest rose gardens in Andalusia, blooming vibrantly from April through June.
