Casa Huerta de San Vicente, Literary museum in Realejo district, Granada, Spain
Casa Huerta de San Vicente is a white two-story house in Granada that shows where poet Federico García Lorca lived and worked. Inside are original furniture, handwritten pages, and personal belongings that document his time there.
The García Lorca family bought this summer house in the early 1900s, and Federico used it as a retreat during his most creative years. Important literary works were written here between the 1920s and 1930s while he had the peace to focus on his craft.
The house displays everyday objects from the García Lorca family's life, including the piano and personal items that visitors can see in their original places. You get a direct sense of how the poet spent his days here, moving between writing, music, and family life.
The visit works best if you take your time and walk slowly through the rooms to absorb the space. The interior is small and contained, so expect crowds during busy times, especially on weekends.
The house preserves a large garden with native plants from the original period, creating a contrast to the modern city around it. The garden was not a luxury but a working part of family life that shows up often in the poet's writings.
