NOVEMBER 2011

November opened with stormy skies. Our coastal Spanish skies are always very dramatic during these types of days. It is a good time break out the wind breakers and get down to the beach for some maximum oxygen.

Cumbre del Sol never disappoints when it comes to taking amazing photos. The light, even under cloudy skies, produces an incredible range of hues. And, of course so does the sea and earth. 

Our beach bar is still open, so we had better enjoy a cafe con leche.

Enjoy my pictures :) karla

SAVING SPAIN'S TREASURES DURING THE CIVIL WAR

In a difficult and risky mission, a committee formed by the persons responsible of the European and American museums worked together to save Spanish Works of art during Spain's Civil War.

Works of art from the Prado Museum, the Academy of Fine Arts in San Fernando, the Escorial, the Royal Palace, National Library and those owned by the Church as well as those from prívate collections, started a journey that took them through different Spanish cities and ended up in Geneva, where they were protected until the end of the war.

This whole adventure was possible thanks to the Directors from several museums who formed in 1939 the International Committee for the Safeguarding of Spanish Art Treasures, and assumed the responsibility of organizing the shipment and care of the works of art. Seventy-one buses trucks crossed the French border with the treasures.

These photos were on display at an outdoor exhibition in Albir Playa - Alicante.
