El huerto de Fray Luis de León

Comments: This place is unique because of four elements: 1. This is the place that inspired the Augustinian Friar Luis de León, the most important poet of Spanish Literature’s Golden Age (S XVI).

Miguel de Unamuno, who was Rector of the University of Salamanca (founded in 1218) and one of the greatest writers of the XIX and XX centuries, was a frequent visitor to this property.

Likewise, if a propitious occasion is offered, nobody that admires the English poetry refrains coming to the Duddon, that river sang by the most sweet Wordsworth”. 2.
