MUSEO RUBÉN DARÍO
Set in a 1800 house, the museum opened in 1964. Until the age of 14, the famous poet lived with his adoptive parents, Colonel Félix Ramirez Madregil and his wife Doña Bernarda Darío. Time furniture, personal effects (bed where he died), present and written (some in French)… The great Alfonso Cortés (1893-1969) lived in the house of Darío, became mad at age 34 and wrote sumptuous poems (to be discovered as an emergency). Ernest Cardenal considered that La Ventana was the most beautiful thing ever written in Spanish! A tortured and metaphysical spirit, Cortés is one of those unsung geniuses in history. He himself liked repeating: " I'm less important than Rubén Darío, but I'm deeper ". About Cortés, it has its own museum today, on Calle Central in front of Darío Park (manuscripts, personal effects, etc.); Open Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 12 pm and from 14 pm to 17 pm.
