Andalusia’s government said the Alhambra and Generalife administration joined the García Lorca Foundation’s artistic initiative across Granada. The bell rang for three minutes at 12:00 local time and sounded again at 12:30 in sequences of three strokes every eight seconds. The programme also involved the Plaza de los Aljibes and Silla del Moro within the Alhambra and incorporated Enrique Morente’s composition Campanas por el poeta. ## Data ### Alhambra bell joins Granada’s October 18 tribute to Lorca Methodology: Ringing times and patterns in the October 18 official report; times are local to Granada.
