From Bloomsbury to Yegen
The British writer, closely linked to the Bloomsbury group, which included writers and artists such as Virginia Wolf and Bertrand Russell, gave up the sophisticated atmosphere of Gordon Square and Great Russell Street for the tranquillity and the local colour of the Granada Alpujarra, and committed all this to writing in his classic work “South from Granada”. This great Hispanist settled in the village of Yegen in 1920, where he
spent over a decade, fascinated by the character of its people, the traditions and customs and the Moorish legacy.
