Federico García Lorca – Granada’s Most Universal Poet

Federico García Lorca is one of Spain’s most celebrated literary figures — a poet and playwright whose influence reaches far beyond national borders. He was born in June 1898 in a small village near Granada and remained deeply connected to the city throughout his life and he died tragically in the first days of the Spanish Civil War in the surroundings of Granada.

On this biographical walking tour, I will guide you through the key locations in Granada that shaped Lorca’s life and legacy. We’ll explore the vibrant intellectual atmosphere and the complex political tensions of early 20th-century Spain — a time that left a lasting mark on the poet’s work and personal journey.

Granada was a cultural hub during Lorca’s time, attracting artists, writers, and intellectuals from across the world. Although Lorca lived in various cities, he always returned to Granada to reconnect with his family and roots.

Throughout the tour, we’ll visit the most significant sites tied to his life in the city — from his family home to places that inspired his poetry. We conclude the experience at the Federico García Lorca Cultural Centre, where his legacy is carefully preserved and celebrated today.

Join me for an inspiring and emotional journey through the life, work, and spirit of Granada’s most beloved poet.
