Travel

I have visited very different places and each trip has taught me a new way of looking at cities, food and everyday life. Here each destination is kept separate so they are easy to browse and compare.

Some of the places I have visited

Nature

Open landscapes are the best rest after a whole week in front of a screen. This photo shows Lake Ubales, one of my favourite places, in the privileged setting of the Redes Natural Park.

Rome

I liked Rome for its mix of history and everyday life. It is a city to walk without too rigid a plan and discover squares, streets and buildings full of detail. However, it is crowded and rather dirty in my opinion.

Lisbon

Lisbon struck me as a city with a lot of character, steep streets and neighbourhoods with very different atmospheres. I especially enjoyed strolling, trying its food and watching the light by the river.

London

London surprised me with its size and the number of different things to do. I am interested in the mix of historic districts, public transport, parks and cultures living side by side in the same city.

Spanish cities

I have visited Salamanca, Zamora, León, Lugo and Santiago de Compostela, among other Spanish cities. There I have found very varied heritage, food and traditions.

I like discovering these places without hurry, walking through their historic centres and returning to familiar spots to find details that went unnoticed the first time. I really enjoy visiting Spanish cities because we live in an unbeatable country, full of landscapes, history and very different ways of life within a few kilometres.
