Pedro Garfias

Garfias was born in Salamanca, Spain, but spent his childhood and youth in the Andalusian cities of Seville and Córdoba.

That year, Pedro Garfias, along with the young poets Guillermo de Torre, César A. Comet and José Rivas Panedas wrote the first Manifiesto Ultraísta (Ultraist Manifesto).

Pedro Garfias was one of the Spanish poets of the Generation of 1927 who was more enthusiastic regarding all the avant-garde movements, as Ultraism.

One of his more popular poems is Asturias, that was made into a song by the Spanish singer Víctor Manuel.

Garfias was forced into exile during the Spanish Civil War, along with other artists, writers, and intellectuals.
