During the late 1920s, l'Hospitalet de Llobregat emerged as a significant center for artistic innovation, hosting renowned figures such as the poet Federico García Lorca.

The local municipal archives preserve a drawing dedicated by Lorca to the artist Rafael Barradas. This artifact serves as a reminder of the vibrant intellectual life that characterized the city during the early 20th century.
The relationship between these two creators shows that l'Hospitalet was more than just an industrial hub; it was a meeting point for the European avant-garde, driven by Barradas's influential presence in the town.
