Treviso

A weekend in Treviso a couple of weeks ago for an exhibition. I went with Lapin and we had the opportunity of meeting some nice people and (of course) drawing this beautiful town. Here are some of my sketches. Lapin posted much faster than me (here and here).

Castellers

(En español en De Vuelta con el Cuaderno)

Friday 24 was La Mercè, a big festival in Barcelona. I went to Plaça Sant Jaume to see the castellers. I've always thought this is a beautiful metonymy of the collective work, and I'd say it's not a case that this old tradition had taken deep roots in Catalonia. I've seen castells all my life on tv or films, but this was the first time I had the opportunity of seen them live. Really exciting, at some moments I got goosebumps.
