Huerta de San Vicente
The summer villa of the family of poet Federico García Lorca, where he wrote several of his famous works. It is now a museum house preserved as it was.
Federico García Lorca was the most celebrated Spanish poet and playwright of the 20th century. He spent every summer here from 1926 to 1936. After the outbreak of the Civil War in 1936, he was taken from this house and executed. The house keeps his desk, piano and family photos. Visits are by guided tour only, mainly in Spanish, and take about 30 minutes. Tickets cost a few euros, and there are free time slots each week. The museum is closed on Mondays. The surrounding area is the Lorca Rose Park.
