Yesterday’s drawing made someone very happy!
I’m not used to paint on the wall, so it was the first time I used acrylic paint. I hope to improve this technic in the next giraffe!
1007 / Some lost corner at Altea old center / Spain
I escaped from the crowd that runs through the old town’s main road to do this sketch in one hour; just before eating a nice pizza at lovely terrace, and in very good company! What more can you ask in a late summer afternoon?
1005 / Pergola at Viveros / Valencia // Spain
This is not my favorite subject, by I stuck with friend who was drawing it, so I did the same. Things you do for friends!
Este no es mi tema favorito, pero había quedado con un amigo que estaba dibujando esta pérgola. Lo que hacemos por los amigos!
Esta pérgola está longe de ser o meu tema favorito, mas tinha combinado com um amigo que estava a desenhá-la. O que fazemos pelos amigos!

781 / Templar walls / Tomar // Portugal
(following the previous post http://wp.me/pLtki-1fg )
Portugal one of the first places where the Templar emporium began to settle. However, unlike what happened in other countries (especially in France), the relationship between the Crown and the Order of the Temple was probably very close.
One of the most important donations made by D. Afonso I to the Order of the Temple was, around 1159, the territory of Nabância. Here , Gualdim Pais, founded Tomar. With its magnificent castle and one of the most significant churches erected at the image of the Dome of the Rock (Santa Maria of Olives), Tomar has been one of the most influent Templar centers.
780 / Templar Castle / Almourol // Portugal
Medieval castle, located on a small islet in the midlle of the Tagus River. The fortress was part of the defender line controlled by the Knights Templar, and a stonghold used during the Portuguese
definion of their actual frontiers, as well as Sertã, Dornes, Ferreira do Zêzere, Foz do Zêzere, Cardiga, Pombal , Soure and of course, Tomar, the spiritual and organizational center of that defensive network.
