Parque Federico García Lorca is a public park located in the Ronda district of Granada, built on the grounds of the poet's former family summer estate, Huerta de San Vicente. The park features a permanent museum housed in the poet's original summer residence, where he wrote several of his most famous works. It spans over 7 hectares and contains a rose garden with over 50 varieties, reflecting the poet's love for the flower. The grounds include dedicated children’s playgrounds, fountains, and expansive walking paths lined with diverse botanical specimens. Visitors can observe the preserved interior of the house, which maintains furniture and personal items belonging to the Lorca family. The landscape design incorporates traditional Andalusian garden elements alongside modern leisure facilities. It serves as both a cultural site dedicated to Spain's most famous 20th-century poet and a functional green lung for the local neighborhood.
