The XXI International Poetry Festival of Granada kicks off, welcoming 74 authors from 14 countries.

Granada, 1922: the first brick of Lorca's poetry.

Granada opened on Monday, May 5, the twenty-first edition of the International Poetry Festival, which will run until Friday and is held not only in the capital but also in the towns of Pinos Puente, La Zubia, Monachil, Almuñecar and Huétor Vega.

Authors from fourteen countries are called to participate in this prestigious event.

The figure of Federico García Lorca, the most universal poet of Granada, hovers over the entire program. It will be in his summer residence in the Huerta de San Vicente where the festival will officially start. In the courtyard of the house-museum will be heard verses of the Uruguayan Rafael Courtoisie, Casa de America Award, and the Galician narrator and poet Manuel Rivas, the most recent National Prize of Spanish Letters.
