Guernica

I have not posted in a while this is due to moving around a lot, holidays and internet issues. However as part of this travelling I write this post whilst sitting in Madrid and today I saw Guernica by Pablo Picasso. It was very impressive.

The painting shows the bombing of Guernica, which is in Basque Country (North Spain), by German and Italian warplanes at the behest of the Spanish Nationalist forces, on April 26, 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. You can find out more about it by searching the usual sights on the internet.
