Combarro

This lesson brings back my Spanish trip of summer 2019, along the coastal road of northern Spain — Cantabria, Asturias, Galicia. One of the places was Combarro, an old fishing village on the Galician coast. I couldn’t resist stopping there for a couple of days to sketch and paint.

The village is famous for its hórreos, small traditional granaries once used to keep food. Today they attract tourists — and for us painters, they make a wonderful subject.
