1900. Mallorca. Palma. Interior de la Catedral.
Querido Manolo,
Esta es una foto postal antigua que muestra
uno de los tornavoces que diseñó Gaudí
como parte de la restauración de la catedral de
Palma que acometió entre 1903 y 1914.
Esta estructura hecha para aumentar y
distribuir la voz siempre estuvo inacabada
porque Gaudí planeó añadir grupos
escultóricos con ángeles, apóstoles, y los
símbolos de los evangelistas, además del
globo y la cruz del Redentor.
El tornavoz se desmontó en 1971 pero el
arquitecto Elías Torres realizó una réplica
efímera en 2010.
Un abrazo,
R

1452. Langwieser Viadukt. Eisenbahnbrücke, Chur-Arosa.
Dear Peter,
When built the Langwieser viaduct was the largest railway bridge in the world. It is still one of the most famous bridges in Switzerland and a structure of cultural relevance for this country.

Dear Dennis,
"...When dawn broke,
they started to wander about
the forest, seeking a path, but all hope soon
faded.
They were well and truly lost. On they walked and
walked, till suddenly
they came upon a strange cottage
in the middle of a glade.
"This is chocolate!"
gasped Hansel as he broke a lump
of plaster from the wall.
"And this is
icing!" exclaimed Gretel, putting another
piece of wall in her mouth. Starving
but delighted, the
children began to eat pieces of candy broken off the
cottage.
"Isn't this
delicious?" said Gretel, with her mouth full.
She had never tasted anything
so nice.
"We'll stay
here," Hansel declared, munching a bit of
nougat. They were just about
to try a piece of the biscuit
door when it quietly swung open..."
(Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Hansel and Gretel)
Best wishes,
