Poetry flows at El Ladrón de Agua: A literary and cultural journey in Granada
During the warm summer of 1924, the great poet Juan Ramón Jiménez, invited by the García Lorca family and composer Manuel de Falla, embarked on an unforgettable journey to Granada. Surrounded by the city's beauty and rich history, Jiménez felt deeply captivated. The sounds of flowing water, the vibrant landscapes of the Alhambra, and the city's rich culture inspired him to write one of his most abstract and symbolic poems: "El Ladrón de Agua".
This poem became an emblematic piece within his collection titled "Olvidos de Granada", which also includes the famous poem "Generalife", dedicated to Isabel García Lorca, the younger sister of poet Federico García Lorca. The collection not only reflects the poet’s connection with Granada but also the influence that the city and its vibrant artistic life had on his work
