Hi Paez,

I copied the following translation into English of the Cuidad de Olvera. Please excuse the Google translation which is not very good:

International Painting Prize OUTDOOR 2012 OLVERA CITY aims at spreading through art,  the customs aspects,environment and landscapes of Olvera (Cádiz). For this, professional and amateur artists work in the chosen location in a single day. This is called PLEINAIRISMO  Noted painters in Spain are Joaquin Sorolla or Ramon Casas, and is currently the only country in the world to regularly perform this type of contests so professionally. Thus attesting to the fact that there are more than 200 across the country, sponsored by public and private companies, who see in them an excellent opportunity to acquire works by contemporary artists and  the opportunity to see "in situ" the artists do the work from its inception to its final execution.

This looks interesting. Will there be such an event in 2013? I hope perhaps you will post details here on Plein Eire under 'Events' tab. I am sure some members may like to combine a visit to Spain with an opportunity to take part.
