What happened
In 1926, Lorca developed a close friendship with the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí, which greatly influenced his artistic vision. Their collaboration and discussions about art and literature took place primarily in Madrid and later in Paris. This relationship introduced Lorca to surrealist ideas that would permeate his later works.

The friendship with Dalí opened Lorca's mind to surrealism, encouraging him to experiment with imagery and symbolism in his poetry. This influence is evident in works like 'Poeta en Nueva York,' where he blends dream-like elements with stark realities.
