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.

Must-see Exhibition in Granada
Visiting Granada this July? This exhibition inspired by the city is a must-see! If you’re in Granada this July, you can’t miss “Cautivada por Granada” for a free, unique and authentic experience of the city. Granada Insider caught up with the artist – Natasha Phillips – to find out the story behind the exhibition and talk about her life as an artist living in Granada. Natasha, tell us about the exhibition. The exhibition consists of over twenty original paintings of streets, views and landscapes around Granada – each one with a story behind it. This exhibition came around just in time for the 10th anniversary of my first visit to Granada, all the way back when I was a uni student studying Spanish abroad. I fell in love with the city that summer and came back as soon as I could. Granada just has something special; there’s something about its light and the feel of its streets… It tends to pull people back! I find walking around Granada to be a great tonic for the soul. If I’m having a bad day or feeling in need of a boost I just go and walk around my favourite places and...
The Osborne Bull
There is obvious irony in old billboards that advertised alcohol, ‘watching over’ the highways of Spain.
The Spanish Timetable
