The Mediterranean landscape and culture played a leading role in written poetry in Spain in the 1950s, especially in the so-called Barcelona School Group. Their first meeting took place in Formentor, on the coast of the Mediterranean. The Greek world represented for these artists a liberal world of freedom and sensuality in the context of the Franquist dictatorship. Carlos Barral, Jaime Gil de Biedma, Juan Gil-Albert, and even Francisco Brines and Claudio Rodriguez have therefore made the Mediterranean landscape one of their main sources of poetic inspiration.
