On this trip you will go back to the Nasrid era, you will experience the cultural past by entering it directly into the house of the poet Federico García Lorca (there he wrote such important works as Yerma, Blood Wedding, the Gypsy Ballads) and, among many other things, we will see and enjoy an authentic cave where we can have a coffee in an environment outside the tourist circuit.
