Album of images and memories

Book-catalogue that corresponds to the third exhibition of the "Fernando Poyatos Photographic Collection" of CEFHIGU. In this collection there are no images of Guadalajara, to which he has dedicated a good part of his photographic work; With this new catalog Fernando Poyatos shows that he is equally a lover of many other Spanish towns and their people.

Description

Book-catalogue where the author in the first part describes the trip made in the summer of 1965 by various Spanish towns.

He began his journey in Budia, the heart of the Alcarria de Guadalajara, his most intimate homeland, to later move to the province of Cuenca through Valdeolivas and, now through Priego and Poyatos, in the Cuenca mountains, and through his portion of La Mancha, cross Ciudad Real and Toledo and zigzag through the mountain towns of Ávila and later through those of Salamanca. From this province it would go up to the areas of Tierra de Campos corresponding to the provinces of Valladolid, Zamora, León and Palencia, to then begin to go down through those of Burgos, La Rioja, Soria, Segovia and, through the province of Madrid, finish another time in their lands of Guadalajara arriving again in Budia.

The second part consists of 64 magnificent black and white photographs, which the author took in 1965 through the lands of Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla y León.
