Maria Callas is universally known. She was an opera singer who transcended that artistic sphere to become a cultural icon with millions of followers around the world, giving rise to the mythomania that all modern-day sopranos must face in one way or another.

‘Part of a door or window where the hinge pin passes through, and where it moves and rotates.’ This is the definition of quicio according to the revered Royal Spanish Academy.

Contemporary architecture and town planning are the city of Compostela’s great unknowns. This route comprises a sample of building works carried out in the last fifty years that has continually defined and distinguished the city’s northern area. We will talk about the relationship between architecture and landscape, the dialogue between tradition and modernity, stone and the new architectural languages…

Throughout the year, we will be holding a series of yoga sessions framed within the CGAC’s temporary exhibitions, the suggestive architectural spaces that contain them and the natural spaces of Bonaval park, designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira and the architect and landscape artist Isabel Aguirre.

In this workshop, Almudena Fernández Fariña proposes a reflection on the work’s integration and dialogue with each place, knowing how to differentiate, recognise and appreciate the uniqueness of the spaces.
