13th June
On Friday in searing heat relieved by a slightly cooler wind, we decided to visit the NMAC art installations in the next door golf course; Montenmedio. This was an enjoyable 2 hour wander through pine forest where the sculptures are cleverly hidden giving them even more impact when you come across them.
One spectacular piece by James Turrell appeared to be a subway entrance into the hillside - when you emerged from the tunnel you were greeted by an overflowing pool with a kiln shaped structure at its centre which you could enter. A hole at the top of this allows the sunlight to spotlight through and the echo when you call is mellow and long. I was blown away by this beautiful construction, the materials it was made from were natural and the terracotta colour of the earth surrounding us. The 'kiln' a granite grey and painted inside. Attention to detail was everything. A satisfying experience.
So we say goodbye to Vejer's environs with it's pretty hill town, storks on pylons, dusty cacti and heat baked pine forests.
The storks build the grand construction, then smaller birds add their nests underneath!
