    Bella foto, la vera Spagna d'epoca! - Foto agradable, la cosecha de España real! - Fint foto, verkliga Spanien årgång!

    No son dos hombres andaluces. Ese es el traje típico de la provincia de Salamanca, posiblemente de la zona del Campo Charro. Casi con seguridad son un par de "charros salmantinos"

    patxisc: So this could be men from the Salamanca province, Campo Charro district, because of their costume? (The hats are very special.) Thanks for the very interesting information! / Gracias por la información muy interesante! /Anna B.

    Arriero, es la palabra con la que se denomina a las personas que se dedicaban al transporte de mercancias utilizando burros y mulos.En la zona de la Sierra de Cádiz históricamente fue un trabajo que desarrollaron muchos habitantes de sus pueblos, ya que habia sido zona fronteriza de los reinos arabe y castellano. Hubo pueblos como TORRE ALHAQUIME ( a 3 km de OLVERA) en que esa tradición se ha mantenido hasta hace pocas décadas. En Olvera las ferias de ganado han sido de las más populares de toda la zona, siendo hoy un referente en sus fiestas patronales. Carl Curman es muy poco probable que se desplazase hasta Olvera para tomar una única fotografia. Esta foto, de arrieros junto a una casa humilde, casi con toda seguridad pertenece a una imagen de habitantes de Olvera.

    I don´t know where this photograph was taken but I am not sure it was in Salamanca anyway if it was there, the location could not be Andalucía because Salamanca is located circa 500 km north from Andalucía.

    joseppc and Adolfo Arranz: Thanks a lot for finding out the identity of the town so swiftly! You've really been to a great help, and we can now complete the information in our database :-) And please hang on - more pics of Spanish towns to identify are to come... /Anna B.

    Nice picture. It could be anywhere in Spain though, donkeys were used all over the country :)

    Looks like a cyanotype.....but not sure how they would've done it with this type of subject matter. Love the image, though!!!
