Private tour: Lorca and Falla. The Origins of Flamenco at the Alhambra

Book now

Description

Lorca and Falla were very different: frugality versus waste, revelry contrasted with mysticism. Despite this, they were great friends. One of their passions was flamenco. Together, they organised the Cante Jondo Competition in 1922, where they both went in search of the roots of Spanish music and which was attended by famous personalities at that time.

We will stroll through the Alhambra Forest, passing by the Alhambra Palace, then visiting the small Mozarabic theater hidden inside. After that, we will visit the Manuel de Falla House-Museum, a beautiful but modest home that remains nearly intact today. It still houses the piano and many other items from Falla’s daily life. This was a very beloved, emotionally charged house to Lorca because, besides being a traditional Granada “carmen” where all romantics dreamed of living, it was imbued with Falla’s personality and the memorable times from their friendship.

We then move on to visit the Legacy Museum of Ángel Barrios, where we will get a closer look at the most important site linked to flamenco in the Alhambra, until reaching the esplanade of Charles V’s Palace, from which we can view the Albaicín and Sacromonte neighborhoods. In this wonderful place, you will find the site of Lorca’s inspiration to create his famous work “El Romancero gitano” (or “Gypsy Ballads”).
