In 2002, the Department of Tourism, Culture, and Sport created the 'Lorca and Granada in the Generalife Gardens' programme aiming to round off the cultural programming of the summer in Granada with a theatrical proposal inspired by both the figure of Federico García Lorca and the fact that his work is universally attractive to all types of audiences. Since then, the Monumental Complex of the Alhambra and the Generalife has offered up its historic spaces to undertake creations by artists like Antonio Gades, Mario Maya, José Antonio, Pepa Gamboa, Blanca Li, Cristina Hoyos and José Carlos Plaza, Eva Yerbabuena, Rubén Olmo and Antonio Canales, Fuensanta La Moneta and Manel Liñán, Rafaela Carrasco, Paco Ortuño, Rafa Estévez and Valeriano Paños, Úrsula López, Estrella Morente, Eduardo Guerrero, and Andrés Marín – among others.

Since the programme's inception, more than eight hundred thousand people have enjoyed the nights at the Generalife and more than four hundred artists have performed on stage. In the twenty-two editions that have been held, the attending public has been able to enjoy a unique cultural and artistic experience and familiarise themselves with the world-famous poet from different perspectives and through dance, music, interpretation, and videos.

'Lorca and Granada in the Generalife Gardens' was carried out by public companies (the Flamenco Ballet of Andalusia and the Andalusian Dance Company) until 2009, the year in which the doors of the space were opened to the participation of private companies (with Eva Yerbabuena and her show 'Federico according to Lorca'). Since then, programming has alternated between the public Flamenco Ballet of Andalusia and private companies, which have starred in eight editions (in 2020, there were four different companies). This year we are going yet another step further in our public/private collaborative efforts to continue the programming and keep making it grow. In this edition, we will have the Flamenco Ballet of Andalusia and three private companies with us to fill the nights at the Generalife with Flamenco: Raimundo Amador and Lin Cortés, Arcángel, and Tomatito. Thus, playing and singing will top off the sixteen nights when the audience will be able to enjoy 'Pineda', the new production of the Flamenco Ballet of Andalusia directed by Patricia Guerrero. This is a varied programme that combines the three elements of Flamenco –toque (playing), baile (dancing) and cante (singing)– and stars artists from different parts of Andalusia.
