Almeria crime tour

January 22, 1922. The public settles in their seats. The Santa Isabel de Ceres function is about to begin. And suddenly, a sharp shot. At point blank range Cold-blooded. No one is upset, because the spectators believe that it is a rehearsal of the show itself. The play runs smoothly until the actress Conchita Robles collapses on stage.

Since then, some witnesses claim to have seen his ghost wandering around the Cervantes Theater, the starting point of our tour of the crimes of Almería.

The author of the shot that ended the life of Conchita Robles was the cavalry captain Carlos Verdugo, husband from whom she had recently divorced. However, the crime even today continues to raise several questions that we will reveal during the tour.

We will continue our night tour of Almería next to the Andalusian Center of Photography, where some images of the place where the so-called Níjar crime took place are exhibited: love, jealousy and revenge came into play in this passionate murder committed in a farmhouse that García Lorca made immortal in Blood Wedding.

After knowing some aspects of the event that inspired the playwright from Granada for his popular work, we will visit other places in the urban center of Almería that will evoke many other tragic events. One of them has to do with the crime in Gádor, a town in Almeria where at the beginning of the 20th century a sinister individual decided to try a horrendous "cure" for his tuberculosis...

After remembering these stories, we will finish the walk in the center of Almería.
