Book Review – Granada On by JJ Merelo
“Use this book as a path for creating your own narrative of the city, as a conduit for having epiphanies in some lost alley or corner that will anchor your recollections and that will help you meet yourself.”

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. Wells, Rudyard Kipling, the guitarist Angel Barrios and the critic Jose Fernandez Montesinos. At 16, Lorca began his studies at the University of Granada, published his first book four years later, and the following year, in 1919, left Granada for a ten year stay in Madrid, followed by two years of travel in the United States and Cuba, before he finally returned to Spain in the autumn of 1930.

What to do in Granada in the Summer
So everybody knows that it gets quite warm, or even toooo (insert expletive) HOT in Granada come the Summer months. So we are looking for some ideas of what to do in Granada in the sunshine and when the the mercury soars ( I think they still use mercury in thermometres, well you know what I am trying to get at). It is easier to start off with suggestions of what not to. That would be pretty much anything between the hours of 2pm to 6. The only thing for it, is to make use of the world famous siesta, enjoyed nowhere else like it is here in Andalucía. Generally speaking, the local timetable suggests that lunch should be eaten from 14-15:30 followed by 15:30-17:30 siesta time. If you want to get something done, especially if it requires interacting with other human beings (that are awake and functioning,) there is only a small window of opportunity to get it done. 10am -1pm is your best bet. So what ideas have we come up with: Swimming pools. For just €5 anyone can use the outdoor swimming pool in the University, in the Fuente Nueva Campus. Open Mon-Sat from 11 to 7. http://www.cadugr.es/piscina/piscinaverano.htm...
