About this audio guide
This guide to the Carmen de los Geranios in Granada follows Max Moreau, a Belgian-born portraitist who settled into this Albaicin garden house in 1965 after painting society faces from Brussels to Marrakech to Palm Beach. By 1982, Parkinson's disease was taking hold, and you'll hear how he and his wife Felicie, married since 1928, kept working through it for another decade. Look for the easels still set up in the room where he worked, propped exactly as he left them.
