We have only relatively recently begun to visit the seabed regularly, although it may seem like scuba diving is an everyday activity today. We have been practicing it autonomously for less than 100 years, and gradually, it has become commonplace, carried out with high levels of safety, but still with limited duration and depth. Nevertheless, … Continue reading Cantabrian Sea
We hardly know anything about ourselves. Clues, traces, ruins, stones, weathered objects. What were we then? "Sedentary people on the move." "Nomads who settled down" at times threatened, and far more often free to walk without fear beyond the river or the known mountain horizon. We once moved gigantic stones, played with them to create … Continue reading Totanés Cromlech
In this year 2023, we've had a very dry start to the year. It hasn't rained at all since mid-January, and it wasn't until the second half of May that the first showers fell. The parched countryside has turned green again, bloomed, and the cereal crops seem to be recovering. The rivers are flowing vigorously … Continue reading Thermophilic Mushrooms
From the heritage of Castro tribes that sculpt the landscape by adapting to the rugged morphology of the coastline. In the region of Tierra de Soneira on the Costa da Morte, in Camariñas, cockle gatherers work today in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Wind, cold, rain, sun, and rain again. A spontaneous blue stage … Continue reading Cockle gatherers of Camariñas
The Gran Bachimala, or simply Bachimala, is a beautiful and somewhat remote mountain in the central Pyrenees. Despite its notable altitude, around 3200 meters, and being a magnificent viewpoint of the surrounding grand mountain ranges, it remains a less-visited three-thousander. It doesn't have the fame or the influx of visitors like its neighbors, Aneto or … Continue reading Ascent to the Gran Bachimala
I want to take a journey to the yellow. This time, a journey in search of all those horizons where yellow is a sea of wheat and Van Gogh's sunflowers. It could include the small patches of intense yellow found in some fallow fields saturated with clusters of dandelions or bitter chicory, the very yellow … Continue reading Journey through the yellow sunflower
I believe it is in the first cycle of current primary education where children begin to have their first contact with angles, lines, curves, and in general, all geometric shapes. It starts by recognizing the different geometric figures, first in two dimensions and then progressing to the third dimension. It was in third grade, when … Continue reading Mineralogy and geometry
We are going with the artist Cristina Gupier to paint the water with colored oils in a small pool of the Garganta Mayor or Pedro Chate or Jaranda. We carry the small luggage she will need to work with minimal comfort on the granite polished by the stream all day. There is no path to … Continue reading Au plen air
There is only one thing more precious, in terms of value and beauty, than a river. Without it, a river is nothing. With it, a river is not just a canal with a meadow, an irrigation ditch with a garden, a trickle with weeds, water and nothing. It has many names. They call it riverside … Continue reading Riparian
Crossing the ravines, searching for a path among the already bloomed brooms, stepping on quartz stones and the ancient hoof marks of wild boars. The enormous flood of December is clearly visible on the shore. He remembers the precise steps based on the shape of a rocky outcrop or a distant tree protruding from the … Continue reading Gift
