In December, to round off the year, our team visited Chillida Leku, a unique museum created during the lifetime of sculptor Eduardo Chillida. Located near San Sebastián in Chillida’s native Basque region, the Leku site — comprising a restored farmhouse and an 11-hectare sculpture park — is a great work of art in itself. We were fortunate to be guided by Mikel Chillida, who beautifully described his grandfather’s character, artistic values, and achievements.
Afterwards, we walked along the coastal path to Chillida’s Comb of the Wind (1976), a trio of monumental steel sculptures jutting from the rocks above the boisterous Cantabrian Sea.
