This abandoned farmstead on a windswept plain 6km northwest of Rodalquilar was the scene of the tragic, true-life love-and-revenge story that inspired Federico GarcÃa Lorca’s best-known play, Blood Wedding. In 1928, in what's known as El Crimen de NÃjar (the NÃjar Crime), a woman due to be married here disappeared with another man, who was then shot dead by the brother of the jilted groom. The romantically ruined 18th-century buildings are now fenced off but maintain a suitably doom-laden aura.
Take the ALP824 road (which soon becomes a dirt track) 5km east from Los Albaricoques.
