House-Museum
Miguel Hernández is not only a great poet, but also the city’s greatest cultural reference. But, you can’t know about his poet without knowing his tragic history during the Spanish Civil War (a tragedy which took the lives of many other great and unknown men).
He arrived at this house with his parents and siblings when he was just 4 years old. He spent only a decade in this house, but it was perhaps the most important decade of his life, filling him with rich experiences which would be the source of his poetry later on. The house is well-preserved and has many original elements that were typical of Spanish homes at the beginning of the 20th century. The rooms are decorated with photos of the poet and his family. It a must; in fact, when people find out that you’re a visitor, they’ll ask “have you been to Miguel Hernandez’s house yet?”
