Federico García Lorca in Granada
During our programme we follow the footsteps of the poet Federico García Lorca in Granada.
This programme is aimed at
native and non-native teachers of Spanish who teach Spanish abroad.
Federico García Lorca was born in a small village near
Granada in 1898. He was a Spanish poet, dramatist, theatre director and an emblematic member of the Generation of '27. On the 19th of August 1936, at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, he was murdered by members of the Fascist group the 'Falange'.
García Lorca's assassination was part of a campaign of mass executions to eliminate all the supporters and allies of the Popular Front. Later, the Franco regime placed a general ban on Federico García Lorca's work.
Consequently, his plays
Blood Wedding,
Yerma and
The House of Bernarda Alba were prohibited during the Franco years. Lorca is now universally recognised as one of the greatest Spanish poets of the century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden Age.
During our programme we organise historical walks in Granada as well as a guided visit to the Lorca Museum in Fuentevaqueros. The second week of the programme will focus on Federico García Lorca and the
memoria historica. The programme includes the entrance to the Alhambra.
