The portraits on the façades

Curiosity · Mogarraz, Sierra de Francia, Salamanca

Image of Mogarraz, not of the place itself.

The village has «brought back to life» the faces of 388 residents who did not emigrate in the sixties: their portraits hang on the façade of the house each of them lived in, so that the former inhabitants look out at the visitor from the walls of the town.
