Bécquer and the Cartas desde mi celda

Historical milestone · Vera de Moncayo, Tarazona y el Moncayo, Zaragoza

Image of Vera de Moncayo, not of the place itself.

Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer settled with his brother Valeriano at Veruela between 1863 and 1864 seeking air for his illness. From that stay came the Cartas desde mi celda, which fixed the literary image of the Moncayo and its legends.

1863-1864
