The Civil War in Spain: ruined houses at Las Carenas, 1874. 'The village of Las Carenas, on the opposite bank of the river Nervion at Portugalete, was some time occupied by the Carlists, while they besieged that town. Its best houses, which were marine villas for the citizens of Bilbao in time of peace, are now pierced with shot-holes, or half demolished by the bombardment, as shown in the sketch'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
