Son \u201ccaprichos de cantero\u201d. As\u00ed las define el autor de esta gu\u00eda pionera, el periodista Benxam\u00edn V\u00e1zquez. G\u00e1rgolas de Compostela-Compostela Gargoyles (Alvarellos Editora-Consorcio de Santiago, 2022) es la primera gu\u00eda de g\u00e1rgolas de esta ciudad, quiz\u00e1s el lugar de Europa con mayor concentraci\u00f3n de estas m\u00e1scaras de piedra medievales y renacentistas, pues cuenta con m\u00e1s de 300, esculpidas en los altos de los edificios hist\u00f3ricos de su zona monumental.<\/p>\n

Benxam\u00edn V\u00e1zquez identifica y explica 30 de las g\u00e1rgolas m\u00e1s singulares de Compostela, en un viaje visual acompa\u00f1ado por m\u00e1s de cien magn\u00edficas fotograf\u00edas de Xaime Cortizo, y un plano de localizaci\u00f3n de todas ellas. Adem\u00e1s, esta gu\u00eda est\u00e1 publicada en tres idiomas: gallego, castellano y con traducci\u00f3n al ingl\u00e9s a cargo de Mark Hughs.<\/p>\n

Realizadas por canteros an\u00f3nimos, su funci\u00f3n principal era la de servir de desag\u00fce de la lluvia desde los tejados. El hecho de estar ubicadas en el espacio m\u00e1s alejado de la calle esto dio libertad total a sus creadores, sin censuras, para tallar en ellas todo tipo de animales fabulosos, antropoides sat\u00edricos, monstruos mitol\u00f3gicos, \u00e1ngeles humanizados…<\/p>\n

\u201cEllas nos ven a nosotros; en cambio nosotros, a veces, dif\u00edcilmente podemos verlas a ellas, o fijarnos en ellas\u201d, afirma Benxam\u00edn V\u00e1zquez, todo un estudioso, desde hace m\u00e1s de 30 a\u00f1os, de estas m\u00e1rcaras en piedra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Santiago de Compostela es quiz\u00e1s la ciudad europea con mayor densidad de g\u00e1rgolas, esas m\u00e1scaras de piedra \u2013enigm\u00e1ticas, divertidas, transgresoras\u2013 que nos contemplan desde lo alto a partir de la Edad Media. Hay m\u00e1s de 300, y en esta gu\u00eda seleccionamos 30 de las m\u00e1s singulares, en una nueva y muy sorprendente visi\u00f3n de esta capital.<\/p>\n

Santiago de Compostela is perhaps the European city with the highest density of gargoyles, those stone fi gures \u2013enigmatic, amusing, transgressive\u2013 that have peered down on us since the Middle Ages. There are more than 300, and in this guide we select 30 of the most unique, offering a new and quite surprising vision of this capital.<\/p>\n
