Pontevedra, Spain

(Cat No. 167, Gallery No. 7)

Pontevedra is a small town with a population of about 75,000 lying in the Galicia region of north-west Spain.

The old part of the town is delightful and typically Galician - a network of cobbled alleys, graceful squares, arcades, flower-filled balconies and excellent tapas bars.

Dotted amongst these features are a number of interesting old buildings, including the 16th century 'Iglesia de Santa Maria la Mayor' and the Gothic 'Ruinas de Santo Domingo'.

Before / After

What strikes any visitor about Pontevedra or indeed any small Spanish town is the quietness of the streets during siesta time. The original photo here rather contradicts that memory and so there was a real need for removing the pedestrians ..... a truly atmospheric "photo-painting" is the net result.
