Manuel Morego. Spanish author. Plastic artist.
In 1979 he formed the group La Miga with two other Granada authors (T. Flores and J. C. Cardenete), beginning an important and fruitful stage of his artistic career, creating Arabic-Andalusian art. His works are exhibited in different countries and in different regions of Spain.
