The Pride of Granada – Federico García Lorca
Despite being forced into comparative obscurity by the great literary artists of the Spanish Golden Age, of Góngora, Lope de Vega, Quevedo, and, of course, Cervantes, Federico García Lorca is undoubtedly one of Spain’s greatest dramatists and poets. Born in Fuente Vaqueros on the 5th of June 1898, to a farmer and former school-teacher, Federico García Lorca’s childhood was shaped by the influences of his mother and the family’s servants which sparked an interest in the culture of rural Andalucía that would last into his adulthood and feature prominently in his later works. Lorca moved to Granada with his family at the age of 11, and the vibrant, multi-cultural city would later bring Lorca into contact with the great writers and artists of the age; H.G.

Living Life through the Lens – Talking Granada, Travel & Inspiration with Photographer Paul Ainger
Granada-based artist Natasha Phillips recalls a late-summer’s day spent wandering Granada with photographer Paul Ainger and an orange shopping trolley. It’s the beginning of October and I’m striding along the River Genil in Granada pushing a bright orange shopping trolley full of my art prints in front of me. Turning for a second to look downriver, Granada glows beautifully in the soft morning light. You can tell it’s going to be one of those gloriously warm autumn days, our last taste of summer before the cold arrives without warning and takes over for a few months. Granada is a city of sharp contrasts: summer and winter, hot and cold, sun and shade; there’s not much in between. Nearing the end of the promenade, I raise a hand to shield my eyes from the sun and spot a curly-haired man sporting a camera and a backpack happily waving as he bounces along energetically towards me. Meet Paul: the man behind the lens of Paul Ainger Photography. He smiles widely and apologises profusely for arriving late despite having left early, all thanks to a bus stop mix-up resulting in him being treated to an unplanned tour of Granada and...
