Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca went to high school, the first year as a free student and the rest as an official student, at the Instituto General T\u00e9cnico (General and Technical College) of Granada, then located in the Palace of the Marquises of Caicedo (San Jer\u00f3nimo, 46), current home of the Royal Conservatory of Music Victoria Eugenia.<\/p>\n

The teenager alternated during high school between two schools: in the morning he attended the General Institute and in the afternoon, as reinforcement, the Sagrado Coraz\u00f3n<\/a>, a private secular school run by a relative of his mother, Joaqu\u00edn Alem\u00e1n<\/a>, who acted as his tutor. There, at school, he coincided with his brother Francisco<\/a>, four years younger.<\/p>\n

Joaqu\u00edn Alem\u00e1n, as Lorca’s tutor, signed his application for admission in the 1909-10 academic year. Although the school was officially coeducational, among the more than 400 students there was only one girl.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The first site of the institute after its creation by the Pidal Law in 1845, was the Colegio Mayor San Bartolom\u00e9 y Santiago, but it soon became clear that it was not the right space. In 1875, it was moved to the building across the street, today the conservatory of music, where it remained until January 1918 when, after numerous delays, the new building of Gran V\u00eda, 61, the current Padre Su\u00e1rez College opened<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The General Technical Institute was Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca’s second experience as a high school student after his fleeting stay in Almer\u00eda where, in September 1908, he passed the entrance exam that would also help him to enroll in the following course in Granada. During his stay in Almer\u00eda he was in the care of his former teacher in Fuente Vaqueros, Antonio Rodr\u00edguez Espinosa<\/a>. The relatives of the future poet decided to interrupt his stay in Almer\u00eda because of some fever attacks and a phlegmon that disfigured his face.<\/p>\n

Joaqu\u00edn Alem\u00e1n, as Lorca’s tutor, was the one who signed his application for admission as a free second-year student at the Institute in the 1909-10 academic year. Although the school was officially coeducational, among the more than 400 students enrolled that year, there was only one girl, Magdalena Cazorla Ins\u00faa, from Motril.. The first subjects he took were Notions of Arithmetic and Geometry, Calligraphy and Latin.<\/p>\n

When in 1918 the institute finally moved to its final location, Federico had already completed his education and was preparing to enter the University and travel to Madrid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9151,"template":"","inters_del_lugar":[117],"ruta":[64],"class_list":["post-9148","lugar","type-lugar","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","inters_del_lugar-important","ruta-route-of-granada"],"trid":"177","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lugar\/9148"}],"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\/9151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"inters_del_lugar","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inters_del_lugar?post=9148"},{"taxonomy":"ruta","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ruta?post=9148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
