guertecillo - Lope de Vega's House - Calle de Cervante / Madrid (Sun 11 Aug 2013)

guertecillo - Calle de Cervante / Madrid (Sun 11 Aug 2013)

The Magpie Press (*) writes on Lope de Vega's House (*):
since I had come across by chance the casa-museo (*) where the playwright Lope de Vega (*) lived from 1610 until his death in 1635, I ventured in to get a glimpse of domestic life in Spain’s theatrical Golden Age. It is a handsome three-storey house with a pretty walled garden which Lope described as his “guertecillo”, his little kitchen garden. It still has an orange, a fig and a pomegranate tree, a covered well, box hedges and a small potager with tomato, pepper and chilli plants.
