Pencil drawing of the little bridge that forges the river García Bravo. This bridge was recently restored and used to be the main way into Jimena from the Algeciras-Ronda road. I didn’t know the name of this smaller river but whilst I was sketching an old chap stopped to see what I was doing so I asked him, and he also told me it used to be the main road into Jimena. I had hoped to get down the bottom nearer the river but one side was fenced off and the other side would have been a scramble through the undergrowth and I wasn’t suitably attired (as per usual…)

I’m not sure how I found your blog, but I absolutely love your drawings. I lived in Spain when I was a child, so these tickle my memories, especially the dancers…beautiful.

Hi Wendy…yes, I lived on a road that led into a deep, green forest from Madrid. My word, that was a long time ago. My adopted parents were always gone, so I was raised by this lovely Spanish woman. Ever since then I’ve been dreaming of going back to Spain and marrying a Spanish girl.

Yes, things have to be maintained; they are currently working on our castle so I’ll have to get back up there when it’s finished. Thanks for your comments 🙂
