About this audio guide
This guide to the park named for Federico García Lorca in Granada opens before dawn on the sixteenth of August nineteen thirty-six, when a car stops outside a house that once stood here and men come for the poet, hiding nearby in a city recently fallen to Franco's forces. It follows why a celebrated writer became a target with no warrant and no charge. His family's orchard house, the Huerta de San Vicente, still stands a short walk from this spot, where he once wrote at a desk facing these gardens.
