Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca’s close friend since the family moved to Granada from Valderrubio<\/a> in 1909, member of El Rinconcillo<\/a> which met at the beginning of the century in the Caf\u00e9 Alameda in Granada and whose members included, in addition to the Garc\u00eda Lorca brothers, the politician Manuel Fern\u00e1ndez-Montesinos<\/a>, Manuel de Falla<\/a>, Melchor Fern\u00e1ndez Almagro<\/a>, Antonio Gallego Bur\u00edn<\/a>, \u00c1ngel Barrios<\/a>, Manuel \u00c1ngeles Ortiz<\/a>, Jos\u00e9 Mora Guarnido<\/a>, Constantino Ruiz Carnero<\/a>, Fernando de los R\u00edos<\/a>, Hermenegildo Lanz<\/a>, Francisco Soriano Lapresa<\/a>, among other intellectuals and artists of the time. In 1955, he lived with his brother Francisco, a pianist, at the Carmen de la Muralla in the Albaic\u00edn, where they were both interviewed by the researcher Agust\u00edn Pen\u00f3n<\/a> for his book on Garc\u00eda Lorca.<\/p>\n

Garc\u00eda Carrillo openly declared his homosexuality and, although the correspondence with Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca has been lost, he presumed to be his confidant in matters related to his sentimental life and character.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He used to live on the Acera del Darro, in a noble house with a courtyard and interior garden with its fountain and stone columns, beside the house where the Lorca family settled when they arrived from Asquerosa (Disgusting), now Valderrubio. He had three siblings: Maria, Francisco and Fernando. Francisco was an acceptable pianist. According to Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda, it was Federico who discovered his brother’s musical talent when he was a child. Francisco, more unreserved than his brother, blamed Garc\u00eda Lorca for his myopia: “He wanted to take me to the Centro Art\u00edstico<\/a> so that his friends could hear me […]. There was very little light there, and I of course strained my eyes to see the notes and became myopic.”<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Garc\u00eda Carrillo was a quantity surveyor and art lover. He wanted to devote himself to painting, but his family discouraged him. He ended up working as a draughtsman, in an architect’s studio and later as an expert surveyor for the Diputaci\u00f3n de Granada. He openly declared his homosexuality and, although his correspondence with Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca has been lost, he presumed to be his confidant in matters related to his sentimental life and his character.<\/p>\n

About his friend Federico he emphasized “the splendor of his word”, because “Federico created more and better even when he spoke than when he wrote.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

During the years of the Republic he spent a few years in Tangiers, working in the business of some of his uncles, but he soon returned to Granada.<\/p>\n

In 1954, he related to Pen\u00f3n numerous anecdotes about his friend Federico in which he emphasized “the splendor of his word”, because “Federico created more and better even when he spoke than when he wrote.”<\/p>\n

In the summer of 1936, a few days before Federico’s arrest, he saw how some Falange men entered his old house on the Acera del Darro possibly looking for the poet’s home. Garc\u00eda Carrillo phoned him to warn him, and, although he could not give him much information because his phone was under surveillance, the poet understood perfectly what was going on.<\/p>\n
