Spanish Quotes

Two hundred and fifty lines in Spanish, from both sides of the Atlantic. Around a hundred and fifty are proverbs, the ones heard in every Spanish-speaking kitchen; the rest are Cervantes, Gabriel García Márquez, Frida Kahlo, Antonio Machado, Borges, Neruda, Picasso, Lorca and Unamuno. The print carries the Spanish only; the English translation is on the product page.

These prints are bought by Spanish, Mexican, Colombian and Argentine families living abroad, by learners who want a line in front of them every day, and by people who came back from Andalusia or Oaxaca with a phrase they keep saying. The proverbs suit a kitchen, an entrance or a family room; the poets belong in a bedroom or a study.
