HOUSE MUSEUM OF MIGUEL HERNÁNDEZ

Born in Orihuela in 1910, it was in 1930 that this great Spanish poet will publish his first verses in magazines such as El Pueblo de Orihuela or El Día de Alicante. Next to Madrid, he will work as editor for the Taurin dictionary, which will enable him to contact the authors of the 27 generation, a Spanish literary group that appeared in the 1920 s and included Luis Cernuda, García Lorca, Rafael Alberti or Vicente Aleixandre. It is at this time that poems centered on the world of bulls and on the battle between love and death found in El rayo than cesa no. During the civil war, Miguel Hernández will play an active role alongside the Republicans, which will result in him being imprisoned and sentenced to death. His last work is called Cancionero y romancero de. Many of his poems have been put in music by Paco Ibáñez and Joan Manuel Levels. This museum is the one where he lived with his parents from 1934 to 1914, bought by the mayor of Orihuela in 1981, then restored and inaugurated in March 1985. Its form is typical of farm farms as they existed on this street at the beginning of the th century. Here you will find the furniture and objects of the everyday life of this time as well as photographs depicting the life of the poet.
