In Federico García Lorca's birthplace, the village of Fuente Vaqueros 17km west of Granada, this small but lovingly maintained museum displays photos, posters and costumes for the writer’s plays. In 2020, famous Granada street artist El Niño de las Pinturas adorned its facade with a vibrant mural. Visits are by guided tour in Spanish.
