Today we were fortunate to have the presence of James, an architect willing to work in technical and Daniel Moreno has been charged delineate the building plans and elevations. Planes that are going to be very useful.


Around 13.30 hours we made our way back, dark clouds were threatening from the west.

Look for Donald! Matchday



In this life, if there is someone in charge of remembering your work does not exist, was postponed in the limbo of the anonymous. If these things, you yearn for the quality of your work, but nobody pays attention, we fall into oblivion. One of the most striking cases was discovered by Bernardo Boullosa Díez, Cuban architect settled in Spain since 1959. In a series of interesting articles on architecture and urbanism published in Marbella image in the late eighties, Boullosa with the caption "Look for Donald" performing a semblance of such a mysterious character, wondering "Where the hell is Donald? ".

Of Australian origin, his full name is Donald Wallace Gray Tonkin. He was prolific architect, restorer, interior designer and artist on the Costa del Sol during the sixties and seventies. The Cuban attributed no less than the flagship projects of the urbanization Las Lomas del Marbella Club (apparently referring to Pueblo Las Lomas del Marbella Club), The Virginia and Pueblo Lopez in Fuengirola.

been more than twenty years since the publication of the article and Donald Gray is still missing in studies of architecture la Costa del Sol, como si su anonimato fuera forzado, su trayectoria borrada por la indiferencia. No he hallado referencias bibliográficas más que escuetas menciones como la de ser calificado experto en la conservación del tipismo de la arquitectura alpujarreña en Atalbéitar, lugar cercano a Pitres en Granada o como director de una escuela taller en Lebrija en 1988.



Desconozco su grado de participación en los marbellenses proyectos debido a su condición de extranjero. En aquellos años muchos profesionales no pudieron colegiarse y por tanto no se les permitía firmar los trabajos. Pueblo Las Lomas del Marbella Club is one of the best areas of the province, resulting from various construction phases that have formed a single nucleus with a seemingly disorganized planning of narrow streets, squares and plazas. In areas such as the square of North African-inspired Xauen their elbow hits by horseshoe arches, walls in ocher and indigo dye houses that open to the outside through alfiz arches framed or covered by eaves modillions roll angrelados paired arches and trusses. The next phases Islamization abandoned in favor of Andalusia, won the classic simplicity of the local architecture. The first three, between 1974 and 1980 were Posadillo developed by José Sánchez de Puerta, the last, and in 1985 by José María Sastre Domínguez. In The Virginia

the problem of authorship is greatly complicated because different programs, both fragmentation and residential concrete projects, involving several architects among them Carlos de Ochoa Hernández-Blanco, Rafael Arvilla or Dora Ignacio Orduña. Maybe it's altogether more accomplished in terms of their authenticity and similarities to any people of Andalusia. In fact, the real estate propaganda countered the attempt to recreate the essence of Andalusian style against the constant attacks he suffered. In this case occurs proper hierarchical distribution between emblematic areas with stately homes around the main square and others that are inspired by folk architecture in the streets peripheral, winding layout, charming atmosphere and successful recreation.






Two advertising pages of The Village Virginia Lopez Lookout magazine, contained two separate drawings initialed by Donald Gray in 1965, reinforcing the possibility that he was somehow connected to both projects.

I tried to locate Gray, know your job, your opinions, but I did not succeed. A single phone number I contacted the office of architect Carlos Sánchez Gómez Granada. A woman, stark in the answers, perhaps uncomfortable with the conversation, tried several times to end the blockades. At my insistence, said that for more than six years who left the study, who had moved to live in a small town in the Alpujarra. I thought he was still alive, but ... I fired without margin.

in La Taha, a town of 700 inhabitants constituted by the annexation of others scattered, there is an art gallery with your name, pen drawings delicious alpujarreños uncontaminated landscape of purity preserved, as if his search was vital objective, purpose and justification of a work. There is Donald Gray and we must not forget.

in





has been the first day in cleaning and clearing of the derelict remains of the chapel of the monks. With spirits high and the uncertainty present, we have gathered over twenty, a diverse group so eager to "get their hands" to the subject that the beginning has been hectic, exhausting.


It's exciting to know that we are the first in many years to clean up the complex and paradoxical, "has spoken of the subject," that no government agency has taken any measure of protection, conservation and even restoration of the monument.



Today we have proceeded to the clearing of the interior and perimeter. Four hard hours of manual work whose first results are spectacular, the prospect of building has changed.



show how a small abandoned chapel, now presented as a complex with claims, perhaps with the intention of transforming itself into a monastery. The quality of materials used in foundation walls with masonry work and the size of the buttresses encourage thinking in a play with traces of being over.




buttresses The area has been the hardest to clean up the tangle of brambles, but shows a new vision for many of us who have often visited the place.



View inside without vegetation is a gift for the view that reveals extent, oriented almost north-south, with many similarities to the plant of the chapel of Santa Catalina Convent of the Trinity of Marbella.




At two o'clock the fatigue weighed, half the group had gone. We are all impressed by the beauty of the place and the size of the building.


I think at some time has passed me, I could not hold my verbal incontinence, not to whom I have discussed but I said that only good people can do work like this, that evil can not think up.


October 30 Saturday return.

Hot Bottomless Women Desktop

Monks Monks



The history leaves traces, quiet places, covered by a mantle of forgetfulness, which maintain a memory weak, misleading oral transmitted between heirs, that popular devotion to hobbies hikers exchanged. Ancient sites of magical and miraculous cures, sustained by faith. Salutary sites of intimate beauty, elected by the proximity of nature with God, the gateway to Heaven.

I mean Monk, because despite its ruinous state has kept the name and memory. Madoz, in the mid-nineteenth century, described what he was told: "... residue of an ancient monastery. Its title is Our Lady of Sorrows, and it is where they usually go in penitence or promises the people of Marbella and other towns of the contour. It has a hermit taking care of the building and worship, being enough for one and another object the alms of the faithful. "





Your access it is not difficult, there is more to cross the stream Calañas, course and name it shares with the Guadalpín, northwest of urbanization Xarblanca and follow its banks until after less than an hour arrives the destination. If we clock back to the eighteenth the road would begin at the Porte de Ronda, would amount to Broad Street and Alameda in San Francisco. From the convent would continue on the path of Trapiche up to the Prado, where we would take the fork in the slope of the Animas. Upon arrival at the mill, the bridge over the creek would open the way to the path of Istan toiled, but the penitent adentraría to right on a ravine lush vegetation and shade, with the sound of wind and sound of water from its small waterfalls and pools.

The area around the shrine was planted with vines and dotted with gardens, two hermits cared for her, but in 1761 had left, "that the hermit brothers attended in this place for decency and worship of the church of Nuestra Senora de la Soledad de la Sierra, have been absent and has been that church and field its immediacy only by Francisco Granados, a citizen of this city because of providence for the preservation of the cult of the hermitage. "




The vine was of poor quality, low substance the garden, "only have designed a wrought its usefulness to the decency of the hermitage church for being so short is maintained at the expense of devotion and the rest of the land being irrigated by said ditch to populate corn with some fruit trees so uneducated of the lower ground and ground forces short of that garden manure so that it can benefit. "

The building is oriented in a north-south axis, reveals humble demeanor, though well crafted, holding in his side lift the edge of a steep fall through thick buttresses . Simple facade, topped with a small steeple. Had a single ship, is subdivided into two spaces, one for the faithful, one for the monks. At the rear, other agencies topped the group.

Their names, Our Lady of Sorrows, Soledad or the Sierra, refer to one, that of the Virgen de los Dolores, the oldest among marbellenses revered. From the Church of the Incarnation to the Monks always a way sacral slope-fitted to the path of religiosity. Niches, chapels, crosses, the chapel of Santa Ana, after the Mother of God, the Church of the Remedies, also of San Sebastian, the Holy Christ and its Dolorosa, San Francisco with his devotion to the Virgin. A triumphant ascent. A Triumph of Faith




Centuries later, less spiritual and a social conscience, a group of civically responsible citizens, who do not seek eternal salvation but the conversion of others to the cause of conservation in our history, they do not want charity or wages, have endeavored to raise at Monks the mantle of oblivion, to break his silence and transmit an ideal more secular, an effort with a certain degree of audacity, the defense of our heritage or what is the difference between doing what the government do not. Need help, begin on Saturday to clean that, they need affection as these works are often difficult and poorly understood, and they could use without frills thanks because they are simple people.

Is The Greatest War Heroes

The Costa del Sol in Malaga




"Agriculture is the main source of wealth in Marbella: rich land, well watered by streams and rivers and by wells, are two or three crops per year. The field is divided into small farms, which makes agricultural work has been done with primitive tools: it is not difficult to see in some cottages Roman plow. " So we sold our tourism potential in 1960. The text is an excerpt from a guidebook on the coast of the province published by Editions La Garza.

The bookstores are orphanages of the word. Sometimes, the dust of oblivion and disorder, pleasant encounters happen, was one of those days that I bent the spine rebúsqueda more than usual, as if he received with a bow. Careful editing and semi fifty numbered copies, with a large team of collaborators, led by Elena Sanz Villamana and Leon Jimenez, good photographs, maps and, further improving its quality, drawings Rafael Pérez Estrada and Enrique Brinkmann.


Marbella Describes a budding paradise bordering on stage and even dream lyric: "The waves of infinite shades of greens, lemons wear their yellow gems that lean on the famous Arab suppliers of palm trees; pomegranates that appear to hold a flame of fire, tall cypress trees, fruit trees and the pine copudo gives its generous shade. At the slopes of the mountain almond dare in January and its branches have popped in soft pink foam, mixed the tree of peace, ravines with crop orchards, orange fruit set or the sensual perfume of flowers, geraniums , steam from the earth and wild flowers. "



The fragility of the landscape is moving portrait of a beauty marbellense, cheap and easy prey "on the huge stage Vibra light , light hurting the white houses scattered among the splendor of the lush vegetation. From here we dominate the splendid bay, full of sunshine, where boats bob on the splendor of the waters full of intensely bright white strokes. "

Eleven thousand hectares extension, ten thousand inhabitants, cereal farming and vineyards, cork oak forest remnants, 100 boats and 500 sailors. As the only manufacturing industry of the Board of Trustees esparto Our Lady of Mount Caramel. "It provides drinking water from a spring called Puerto Rico. Customs has, central telephone and telegraph and postal authorities. " Good roads, streets well paved and clean. A shelter of the Youth Front in which "they have taken care to the smallest detail of comfort and beauty." A camp, Pinar "with a charming rustic chapel." "A great Abastos market ... and one building that will house Arrows Naval School, at the end of the promenade and another Labor Institute. "

For having, among so sweetening up a heroic act: "... the people of Marbella are adept at fighting, so when the Passover of the Holy Spirit in 1621 , a squadron of Turkish corsairs wants to remove the towers under five ships of merchants Marbella friends, marbelleses defend themselves and force the enemy to withdraw. "



On the road changes are observed: "The Hotel Alhamar between a green blanket ... the Hotel Artola and more pine forest forming ... At mile 202 Marbe a large company, SA is urbanizing in these parts ... The original sale of the plates ... The City Association under construction ... The Hotel RICM as a toy ... A just out of Marbella, is the Hotel St. Nicholas and near him the service of gasoline. Later a reputable restaurant, Casa Ramon ... The Breath, bungalows, a place like others, who preferred the traditional hotel in one apartment building spread in the field. The same applies to the Marbella Club Hotel, an area dedicated now to get in the funny department, where prairie grass, the visit of tourists ... The Rodeo, bungalows hidden among the colorful bougainvillea ... the Grand Hotel Guadalmina " .

The Marbella guide described and fiftieth anniversary. An anniversary like everyone else, yellowed pages, dim lights and deep-rooted nostalgia that hang off the bad memories and heavy. Was the result of an official version of the remark of a tourist space, with a designation created on purpose. No margin for improvisation, not to chance, much less ingenuity.

Little Spider Bites Piercing

Portrait of a Lady among ruins





A house is container impressions, atmosphere shares the space of history, chronologies compartmentalized diffuse layers accumulated facts, events and lives. Nothing stands the test of time, since expensive is the toll of degradation and ruin. Rickety on the size, faded in the treatment refers experiences and fuzzy feelings off height and splendor.

The environment of the port of Malaga in the last quarter of the sixteenth century was dominated by the properties of Alonso de Bazán and the convent of the Trinity. To the south, the rear of the Incarnation, some houses and the Ejido tucked between walls. Cosme Fernandez Altamirano, amid much disorder wanted to build your home. I wanted to look, "was alderman," that his memory will endure. Like all rulers sought to make their mark step, although the time pushing people to a nihilistic sense of life, the transience of our presence, "mundi sic transit glory."

Opening a straight road, a straight line between the port of Malaga and Real of Mercy Hospital was the largest operation of urban reform in those years . In principle, called news of the Incarnation and New Hospital, now known as Mercy. Meet the standards of the baroque city with removal and staging of a small square, was third after the Mayor and of the Church, in proportion to the size of the home that the ruler was to build and the prospect of its facade and shape factor.


quality accommodation, materials noble, elegant, striking scenery, open to the street by the composition of openings, railings and balconies. Six hundred square meters of rooms laid out around a beautiful and quite off-court brief on the input shaft, I pay more to the everyday function of exposure gestural, almost unique example, at risk of disappearing, the marbellense Baroque civil architecture. A relic that stands, some propped with pride conveyed by their owners, still, for sale, with the clock stopped, waiting to be revived.

Walking inside is to step back sad memories and retains its furniture melancholy. Each of its inhabitants breathed memories and let others, a succession of wills, inventories of bail and as happy as incurred. The opening of an interior storm window as the sun got a hit. His reflection in the glass of a picture on the opposite wall prevented a view clear. It was the portrait of a lady, splendid in its features, fascinating eyes, complacent in the act. I wanted to know his name but when rectified, ignore and enjoy your best pose to discover these caches we collect inviolable silence. Let no one tell me your life! A historian's curiosity won a feeling of respect and the idea that the best of wisdom is one that pays homage to the memory of people and claimed his creations as objects of worship of the past.


From past we draw, we went to him for answers and the house Altamirano, now promoted as a palace, gives many, as many as you want to find modern and contemporary history of Marbella and we rehabilitated, reintegrated citizens, is currently political investment in assets, a timely recovery option for the old equipment, the best sentimental return to his people.

Many all democratic corporations and many investors were interested in the property. Different obstacles prevented its acquisition. Something inexplicable has saved so far from the real estate greed, as if the lady of the portrait was responsible for ensuring, even among the ruins, your integrity, waiting for business leaders in the public service, as well as recover state-owned land, that the portrait can sag and the lady to rest and close your eyes, but would prefer to see you open, if we would do better.
