The life of Vicente Aleixandre Merlo, born in Sevilla in 1898, is marked by his profound connection to poetry, sparked by his friendship with Dámaso Alonso and the influence of Rubén Darío. He published his first collection, "Ámbito," in 1928 and won the Premio Nacional de Literatura in 1933 for "La destrucción o el amor." A member of the Real Academia Española, he achieved literary acclaim with works like "Historia del corazón" and received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1977. His later years were spent in his home, Velintonia, a hub for poets and friends.
