“Las Meninas de Canido” the most beautiful project “Las Meninas de Canido” is an interesting and fun idea, also it helps to bring people from other countries to meet Ferrol and Canido neighborhood.

Also

brings joy to the neighborhood with Las

Meninas This is my favorite “Menina”, that looks like a fairy from a tale and it is very original, also it is in good condition, but I do not like about it that the wall is not very well.

​ ​ b)​ Marta “Las Meninas de Canido” a fantastic idea.

I think the project was a fantastic idea because the painting in which it is inspired is very beautiful and Eduardo Hermida wanted to give the village was destroyed. My favourite Menina is The Stars´ Wars Menina because I like so much that movie and the Menina is very well drawn

A great project about “Las Meninas de Canido” In my opinion this project is a very good idea because while we learn, we know more things about ”Las Meninas”, Diego Velázquez and “Las Meninas de Canido”.

The visit to Canido was very interesting and funny. I also liked the meeting with Eduardo Hermida.

For me, the most beautiful Menina is this, because I love cupcakes

“Las Meninas de Canido”, a tiny project very famous around the world.

This project is very curious, I love the different “Meninas” in Canido. “Las Meninas de Canido” is a great tourist attraction for Canido. Eduardo Hermida has given back the “spark” to Canido.

My favourite “Menina” is the “Cupcake Menina”. Because it is very funny to see the “Menina” painting her own flame.

e) Sofía G “​ ​ LAS MENINAS DE CANIDO” is a funny project

I like the project of “Meninas de Canido” because I found interesting the tour we took to Canido, and the talk that Hermida gave us.
