Synopsis

“Soledad, A Poppins do Sar” is also part of Yoseba MP’s series of murals entitled “Fernómenos do rural”, in which each painting pays tribute, in a peculiar way, to the women of the Galician countryside, treating them as superheroines of everyday life. In this case, the protagonist, Soledad, displayed her superpower every day where she lived, here in the old Compostela, more specifically in the Sar neighbourhood. Thanks to her incredible and skilful handling of the umbrella, she would come home to do the shopping or any morning errand always dry, without a drop of moisture on her clothes, even if it was raining cats and dogs. Soledad never ever got wet.
