Fierumbre is a documentary photography project that, through the author’s imagination, explores a fictional place: a fading society where its inhabitants have learned to live with light trapped in mist and fire. This photographic project delves into the marrow of a Spain that still exists and breathes dignity—a fierce Spain, adapted to an environment of coexistence with animals, the harshness of its surroundings, customs, and traditions.

This series is part of a project on photo essays about life in rural Spain, part of the evolution of the project 'The city does not live in me' which was exhibited at the Ricardo Ortega exhibition hall at the University of Castilla La Mancha between May and November 2023. I moved to El Barraco (Avila, Spain) in November 2020, my son was just over a year old and both my husband and I were working from home. Since then and until now I have used photography as a tool to get out of a situation of grief and loss, approaching the inhabitants of these villages.
