These pages tell without words the story of a journey through Spain, in which its author, the photographer Fernando Manso, has visited unknown and hidden corners and has captured them on the plates of his large-format camera. From the most remote spots in Galicia to those of Almería, he has passed by coasts, deserts and mountains, stopping at old churches, ghostly castles or majestic cathedrals, in forests and gorges, natural pools and salt mines, in cemeteries, Arab baths or hermitages dug out of the rock. Fernando has made the light in these spaces the absolute protagonist of the journey. It is a different kind of light, as he has dispensed with blue skies and bright sunshine - an image that is sometimes so clichéd -, with spotlights and flashes, to give way to visions of places that, although known, are shown to us with such intimate truth that we can barely recognise them. Thanks to his technique, his art and his patience in waiting for the light. Because Fernando spends all the time in the world &that is his luxury& to bring us closer to an artistic heritage, sometimes secret and difficult to access, that we must know how to see: spaces often at risk of disappearing that he unveils after a detailed research work. Architectures and landscapes, because he knows that the natural landscape is also an important heritage that must be lovingly preserved and protected from speculation, that belongs to all of us and for whose care we are all responsible. And we must get to know it. The result of this journey is this work, with images of great beauty reproduced with exceptional quality, which offers us a vision of Spain in a different light.
