Pablo Neruda was a well-known Chilean poet, famous for winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, for being a renowned communist and a lover of women and mundane things. His most famous works are “Twenty love poems and a song of despair,” a collection of romantic poems and the “Canto General,” an epic poem that shows Neruda’s commitment to communism. The latter one presents the Latin American history as a big endless fight against oppression. As it has happened with many famous writers, his life story is surrounded by scandal, especially regarding his relationships. There is also a mystery surrounding his death; some say he was poisoned because he was a high-profile Communist, while others say that he got sick. Anyway, if there is something we know is that he was an eccentric man and by visiting his houses you can appreciate just that. The houses are now museums administered by the Pablo Neruda Foundation. Each of them shows a bit of Neruda´s personal life and controversial figure.
