The beauty of poetry

Granada has a habit. It is to find the happy, sad, dark, loving and tragic all in the same place. Granda is the home to one of the most famous poets, Federico Garcia Lorca. It is also one of the homes of Flamenco, a poetic dance and music form.

There are two museums in this town dedicated to Lorca. One is in the center and is more modern. It houses some of his works and shows his dedication to so many art forms including theater, music, dance and art. Here is the link if you would like to visit.

Another beautiful homage to his life is his family home. It is maintained as a museum that is open to the public and gives the observer a feel for the intimacy of his family.located in a beautiful park within walking distance of downtown, this museum is worth a visit for all Lorca fans.

One of my favorite examples of poetry literally in the streets is a drinking fountain that can be seen while strolling through the neighborhood, Sacromonte. It reads a little something like this “I would love to be this fountain in my neighborhood, for when you pass and drink, I would feel very close to your lips.”

What a place!!!
