This week we have visitid the Bernarda Alba's house in Valderrubio village. The house where Francisca Alba Sierra lived with her family and where Frederico García Lorca drew inspiration for his famous tragedy Bernarda Alba's house, premiered in 1945 in Buenos Aires by the Margarita Xirgu company, is located on Calle Real (before Calle Ancha) in Valderrubio and the taboo of fiction and truth has weighed on it for many decades. The building was converted into a museum in December 2018.

Francisca Alba's house had a well shared with the house of Federico's aunt, Matilde García Rodríguez. From the well they could see and hear those on the other side. It was through this aunt that Federico and his family found out about what was happening at the Alba house. But not everything that appears in Federico's drama has the same source. The rigorous mourning comes from a relative named Paca Mazuecos, whose house, after the death of her daughter, was completely in mourning, dressed in rigorous black, with a headscarf, no flowers in the patio because they were colored, black curtains on the windows, on the skirt of the stretcher table ...

Apart from visiting the Lorca museum in Fuentevaqueros, a visit to the Valderrubio museum is worthwhile,

The Casa de los Tiros was built between 1530 and 1540 in the style of Granada palaces of the period. Its name (house of the shots) comes from the cannons once set between its battlements. It formed part of the defensive wall of Los Alfareros neighbourhood, hence its fortified, military appearance.

Only the tower remains of the original building, with subsequent building taking place around it. Special mention should be made of the polychromed coffering in the ?Cuadra Dorada? or main hall, as well as the Plateresque doors.

In 1921 it became state property, and since then has been home to the Casa de Tiros Museum, with a library and publications library dealing with Granada-related affairs.

Granada is one of the capitals of graffiti art expression. The most visible of all graffiti artists from Granada is Raúl Ruiz, better known as el niño de las pinturas. His instantly recognizable murals brighten streets, walls and businesses all around the city.

El niño de las pintura's paintings are often characterized by their highly stylized lettering that spells out poignant poetic stanzas. 'Cansado de no encontrar respuestas, decidí cambiar mis preguntas' (Tired of not finding answers, I decided to change my questions) is written underneath his study of Auguste Rodin's The Thinker (Calle Molinos).

The biggest concentration of his graffitis is in the Realejo quarter. The Realejo was Granada's erstwhile Jewish neighbourhood. Today it is a jumble of whitewashed houses and quiet terraced gardens surrounded by high walls. The walls make good canvases for street art.

The cuesta Escoriaza (Escoriaza Hill), Calle Molinos (Molinos Street), Calle Vistilla de los Angeles (Vistilla of the Angels Street) and walls of other unique buildings, such as the Santo Domingo de Guzmán school, are places where one can view and admire the most famous pieces of urban art in Granada.
