A la sombra de la sierra

Wandering around la Dehesa extremeña, my dad explained me old stories of the transhumance and the seasonal migration my grandpa had to endure to move the livestock from place to place. My granny on another hand, had to take the train every day to the big city to sell the cheese she made at home.

A weathered white rural outbuilding with a corrugated blue metal door, partially shaded by an ancient olive tree heavy with fruit, set against a dramatic sunset sky of soft purples and golds, with a small village and rolling landscape visible in the distance
A weathered railroad crossing sign reading 'Paso Sin Guarda' stands beside a barbed wire fence in an arid golden field, with a dramatic overcast sky and mountain range in the background.
A rural field under a heavy overcast sky, with bare and golden trees lining the background.
A narrow rural road lined with stone bollards curves through a dry autumn landscape, with golden trees in the middle distance, a low stone wall, scattered rocks, and a forested hillside rising under a heavy overcast sky.


It’s amazing to think how lively these lands were once, bursting with farmers and animals and with the railway that crossed the whole province.

Now everything is empty but you only need Capri to walk by your side and fill your heart with nostalgia through his words.
