My husband’s maternal grandmother, María Consuelo Martín Rivero was born in the village of Villar de Ciervo, Salamanca, Spain in 1908, just a few years before this photograph. She is probably in the photograph with her parents, but we are not able to identify any of the townspeople. The church is the parish of San Agustín. Even today, the village is tiny, and has only about 350 inhabitants. It is located on the Portuguese border.
The pharmacist in Villar de Ciervo, María Ángela Sanchez Sevillano, was a noted artist. She was born in Villar de Ciervo in 1944 and she died in 1997. We have several of her paintings, but I cherish her portraits of the village the most. These paintings hang directly over my computer as I am typing this. The first painting is the San Agustín church, and the second painting is the house where Consuelo was born.
