Location: Lezo, Spain

40 chocolatiers re-created the cubist painting

on 14 panels using different colours of chocolate

(SOUNDBITE)(Spanish) HEAD OF THE BASQUE PASTRY CHEFS ASSOCIATION, LORENA GOMEZ, SAYING:

"It is a universally known piece of art which has a background with a portion of suffering and peace and a message of hope. In the end, for us, it is true that our land in Guernica is very emblematic here in Vizcaya our homeland."
