Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca’s visits to the Alpujarra were not limited to the towns closest to Lanjar\u00f3n<\/a>. He also went into the deep Alpujarra, then more difficult to access, seeking contact with even more untamed and beautiful landscapes and with the unknown inhabitants who lived half isolated in almost inaccessible villages.<\/p>\n

Another site linked to the Lorquian Alpujarra is the village of Pitres, which today belongs to the municipality of La Tah\u00e1<\/a> together with Mecina Fondales and Ferreirola. Federico’s visit, accompanied by two friends, took place in the spring of 1928. The documents that prove the stay are a letter to the poet Jorge Guill\u00e9n<\/a> and two photographs in one of which he poses as a crucified man next to a tree stripped of leaves and, in the background, the walls of a farmhouse from which protrude the heads of a group of curious people, perhaps his guides, next to a tied-up donkey.<\/p>\n

In the letter to Guill\u00e9n, dated March 24, 1928, a year before leaving for New York, Federico is interested in his opinion about the first issue of the magazine gallo<\/em><\/a>: “What did you think of gallo<\/em>? Tell me. We’ve sent a special issue for you unannounced.”<\/p>\n

The photographs accompanying the missive have separate messages. In the first, on the back, he writes: “Here I am high in the Alpujarras where I went with two friends. Next to me are the guides. The atmosphere is prodigious. Sierra Nevada is never seen. When will we go together to these places? One loses the notion of Europe. What is this? I am very serious in the photo because I am ruminating my surprise”. The text that accompanies the other photo is a kind of aphorism about the villages of \u2018deep Spain\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8766,"template":"","inters_del_lugar":[118],"ruta":[121],"class_list":["post-8853","lugar","type-lugar","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","inters_del_lugar-complementary","ruta-route-alpujarra"],"trid":"37095","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lugar\/8853"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lugar"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lugar"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"inters_del_lugar","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inters_del_lugar?post=8853"},{"taxonomy":"ruta","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ruta?post=8853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
