Shadows in the Garden: Lorca's Granada

Discover the profound duality of Federico García Lorca's relationship with Granada. This city was his ultimate muse, fueling his greatest masterpieces with its gypsy culture and Moorish echoes. Yet, it was also the deeply conservative society that stifled, betrayed, and ultimately murdered him. Walk from his idyllic creative sanctuaries to the chilling site of his final arrest, and uncover how a city can both inspire and destroy its most brilliant son.
