SCOTLAND and Asturias have joined forces for an Easter 'art exchange' this weekend – today (Saturday), if you're in the north of Spain, you can enjoy a cultural treasure hunt around the streets of Oviedo, the birthplace of Formula 1 racing driver Fernando Alonso; or if you're in the UK, head up to Aberdeen and seek out the works of Asturian artists on Monday.
Participants are given 'treasure-hunt maps' and, if they find any of the works in either Scotland or Asturias, they get to keep them.
This fun scheme is the brainchild of Asturians Dalia Martínez – who has lived in Aberdeen for two years and signs off her artwork as Lady Thornfield – and Marta Fermín, manager of the Decero Creativo gallery in Oviedo.
They explain this is a cultural version of the traditional Easter egg hunt, and is the first of what they hope will be many exchanges between the two regions.
Scottish artists whose works are awaiting discovery include Terry Cook, Jane Ronie, Vhairi Walker and Jasmine Armour.
The cross-border art game is called Huevombing, a word-play between 'bombing' and the Spanish translation for egg, huevo.
