Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca’s high school studies after the family moved to Granada had two main scenarios, the General Technical Institute<\/a> (then located in the palace of the Marquises of Caicedo, now the Victoria Eugenia Conservatory of Music), where he attended free and took exams, and the Sagrado Coraz\u00f3n School (at Plaza de Castillejos, 3) a peculiar private school, owned by Joaqu\u00edn Alem\u00e1n<\/a>, a relative of Do\u00f1a Vicenta Lorca<\/a>, located in a half-hidden mansion next to San Jer\u00f3nimo street which, despite its name, was in the hands of lay people.<\/p>\n

The building, now used as apartments, retains the traces of the time, in particular its patio with columns, a marble pillar and a kind of fountain attached to the wall.<\/p>\n

The teachers who worked in that shady building had very particular characteristics, with a deep theatrical air that would delight Federico and that will appear quoted in Do\u00f1a Rosita the Spinster<\/em> with names and surnames.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At Sagrado Coraz\u00f3n School, Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca showed no great interest in learning, although he was deeply impressed by the disorderly and bohemian atmosphere that he and his brother Francisco<\/a>, four years his junior, encountered. “How many times I must have heard that cultivated voice saying ‘Federico, study!’ The high school and college years were certainly not happy ones for Federico,” recalls his brother Francisco.<\/p>\n
