Federico García Lorca's summer house up for sale

 

Federico García Lorca's summer house up for sale

thinkSPAIN Team 18/08/2020

Federico García Lorca's summer house up for sale
A HOUSE where iconic poet and playwright Federico García Lorca spent his summer holidays is on sale for €3 million.

Owned by Lorca's nieces, the villa in Nerja (Málaga province) near the Balcón de Europa, is over 100 years old but 'in excellent condition' and 'maintains its original features, antiques, history, and the atmosphere of its time', according to details of the property.

It includes a 1,400-square-metre (about a third of an acre) allotment, is a two-storey building and is around 170 square metres on each floor.

With five bedrooms and five bathrooms, Lorca's summer house looks over the Balcón de Europa on one side and over the cliffs to the Maro-Cerro Gordo hillside on the other.

The author of now world-famous plays such as Bodas de Sangre ('Blood Wedding') and La Casa de Bernarda Alba ('The House of Bernarda Alba') spent his summer holidays at the Nerja property in the 1920s and early 1930s – in fact, right up until he was murdered by dictator General Franco's military exactly 84 years ago today (August 18) in 1936, the year the Civil War broke out.

Lorca's body was dumped in an unmarked grave, probably along with multiple other victims of the régime, and where he is buried is one of Spain's greatest modern mysteries.

The Nerja house belongs to Isabel, Gloria and Laura, the daughters of the playwright's brother Francisco García Lorca, after they inherited it from their mum, Federico's sister-in-law Laura de los Ríos Giner.

Laura de los Ríos was the great-niece of Alberto Giner Cossío, a doctor from Vélez-Málaga who moved to Nerja in 1870 and bought up a number of houses – including the one now on sale – in what was then a humble fishermen's neighbourhood.
