‘Tindaya’s Silent Soul’
The text takes us on a journey to discover Tindaya, a mountain that speaks of time, spirit, and connection. Born of volcanic fire, now shaped by wind and adorned in ochre tones, Tindaya embodies both strength and grace. The ancient Mahos considered it sacred—a bridge between earth and sky, a living, divine presence. In the 1990s, sculptor Chillida proposed carving a vast void into its core to create a sanctuary for peace. However, the project was halted to protect its fragile ecology. Today, Tindaya is not a peak to conquer, but a presence to listen to—a place that awakens deep connection with the Earth.

‘Pallozas’
For over a century, architects have explored the relationship between nature and human dwelling. The essay explore the architecture of the pallozas—pre-Roman mountain homes in Galicia—that embody this connection through their sustainable design. Built from local materials and adapted to harsh climates, they offer timeless lessons in ecological, resilient architecture, especially relevant in today’s environmental and urban crises.
