Eight scenes
Sculptor Luis Zafrilla (Valdemeca, 1956) has brought the village’s memory into the countryside of Huerta del Marquesado in painted steel. The largest work is El avión (The plane): the DC-3 of Flight 42 entering the pine forest at Collado Bajo on a snowy day. It is followed by the Marcha Blume’s Andarines (Walkers), a family climbing into the hills; En el lavadero (At the washhouse), a circle of women and girls with laundry; Ramoneo (Cutting of browse), a resident and his mule loaded with holm-oak branches for livestock in winter; A moler voy, de moler vengo (Going to grind, returning from grinding), two residents with their mules on the way to the mill; A regar (Off to irrigate), a boy setting down his hoe to aim his catapult; and Las mantas del batán (The fulling mill’s blankets), beside Molino del Batán.
