De vuestro Federico

In San Sebastián De Los Reyes we had an exhibition dedicated to the world famous and well loved Spanish poet  Federico García Lorca with  this letter to his parents where he signs off saying,
 'I imagine you have received the two books. Aren't they lovely? A hug from your Federico.

The exhibition with objects on loan from La Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid and La Fundación Federico García Lorca celebrated the very happy years he spent in Madrid in the company of his friends Luis Buñuel,  Salvador Dalí , Rafael Alberti, Eduardo Ugarte and  other famous names and friends of his time.They would spend their Sundays having picnics in in El Pardo.
There are pictures and there  is even a handwritten letter from the great poet Antonio Machado congratulating him on his play Bodas De Sangre (Blood Wedding). Lorca  knew fame and good  fortune but expressed his solitude in this letter to a friend which he wrote  in 1933.
''También yo estoy sólo, aunque tú me veas acompañado porque triunfo y recibo coronas de gloria, me falta la corona divina del amor,'
Despite his friends' pleading Federico went back to his native Granada where he was executed on the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War on August 18th 1936.
 You will be able to visit this itinerant exhibition in Parla in September. From there  it will travel on to  Alpedrete, Humanes and San Martín De Valdeiglesias.
