Somehow it seems so fitting
For a bleak past.
Three sketches all made on Saturday. The middle sketch is the only one done in San Isidro. The right and left hand sketches were made in Catral, a larger town than San Isidro, where we made a quick visit to the market. The middle sketch though shows a rather neglected memorial which is just behind San Isidro railway station. What does it commemorate? Well, the town wasn't originally built until the 1950s. Prior to that the area was the site of a concentration campo where Franco put , well, anyone he felt like. It's a shame to say that the memorial used to have more chains than this - but has been vandalised and some of the chains have been taken.
