The population of Valderrubio is within its district, in which during several years Federico Garcia Lorca lived when he was young and after his birth in the near Fuente Vaqueros. The family house of the poet and dramatist has been restored and opened to the public as museum. It was in this town where he did his literary learning, where he wrote some of his main works of youth and where he was inspired later to give to the theatre one of his better plays, the house of Bernarda Alba.
