Huerta de San Vicente is the former summer home of Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, located in the city of Granada, Andalusia. It is best known as the family summer residence where Lorca spent important periods of his childhood and early adulthood.

The site functions as a small house museum with period furniture, personal items and displays about Lorca’s life and work. Visitors typically view the ground-floor rooms and the adjoining garden that served as a setting for family life and creative work.

The property remained in the García Lorca family and was preserved as a memorial to the poet after his death in 1936; it was later opened to the public as a museum. The house presents the domestic context of Lorca’s life rather than a large institutional archive.

The huerta sits within Granada, a short distance from the historic center, set in an urban neighborhood rather than a rural estate. It is accessible on foot or by short local transit from central Granada.

• Museum collection: Houses original furniture, family belongings and manuscripts associated with the poet.

The Huerta de San Vicente is a short walk from the central Alhambra / Realejo neighborhoods of Granada. From Plaza Nueva it is roughly a 15-20 minute walk uphill; local buses also serve nearby stops.

• Combine with a visit to the nearby Granada historic district to make a day of it.
• Check opening hours before arriving - house-museum hours can be seasonal.
• The garden is best in late spring and early summer when roses and citrus bloom.
