Groundwater is stored in locations where it is maintained at a constant temperature and in a disposition similar to the surface topography of the area where it is found. These locations, called aquifers, are geological formations formed by successions of layers of porous and impermeable materials in which freshwater is housed underground. The porosity of … Continue reading Water from the Spring
In the seventies of the twentieth century, the German tourist Roland Lorkowsky brought thirty-two Danube catfish fry in a jug, which he later released into the mouth of the Segre River so that they "could grow and multiply" in the reservoirs of Mequinenza and Ribarroja. Before him, the nature protection service ICONA had released all … Continue reading Small Silurus

To be honest, I have to confess that I don't believe in any powers that stones transmit beyond awakening aesthetic taste, the pleasure of giving them as a gift, or, in a more perverse realm, fostering greed. Undoubtedly, my approach to mineral collecting belongs to both the realm of wonder and beauty, but what I … Continue reading The Stone Powers

The Cantar informs us that the Cid camped in Alucant, as stated in verses 951 and following.

On the way to search for aragonites, we discovered an old factory, its large wells, the labyrinth of pools and walls in the middle of the wasteland, near a deserted village. Few things abound so much in the world, just a little bit of ocean and a little bit of sun for it to precipitate, … Continue reading Aragonites and salt pans
Dawn breaks and a faint light carves a palette of blue, mauve, violet, and reddish colors in the sky. A faint murmur of water can be heard in the distance. We are completely in the dark, but even without light and with our eyes closed, we could perfectly describe everything around us. We breathe. The … Continue reading Salmon of Figal

The Mediterranean was where I discovered those pristine and, at that time, little-traveled bottoms in the 70s. All you needed was a snorkel and fins, approach the rocks … Continue reading Searching for weightlessness
On December 10, 1997, a large logging company was cutting down 1000-year-old sequoias. Julia "Butterfly" Hill climbed one of them and stayed up there for 738 days, enduring the company's harassment and even a hurricane. In this way, she managed to make her gesture known to many and finally prevented their felling. These oak forests … Continue reading Garganta de Cuartos oaks
