Athens

-
I lost my heart in Athens, where I have just attended the IAPTI Second International Conference for Translators and Interpreters (#iapti 2014). 
The Greek capital is much more than its historical heritage (of course, the monuments are beautiful). Athens is diversity, and art. Vibrant and inspiring. There is so much to see - one who tasted it has to come back one day.

      Thank you, Inés! Yes, the Conference was good, and I loved so much walking in the city, feeling it, looking around, trying to understand how people live. It was too short, I want to return one day ;-) Un abrazo.

      Thank you, Valerij! Should you post some pictures (from the city, the conference or both) online one day, I would be very glad if you could give me the link. It is a fascinating city, isn't it?

Coastal towers in Southern Spain

-

There are many watch towers in Southern Spain, all along the coast. I have always thought it would be nice to take a sabbatical and hike or bike from one to the other, reading about their history. Some of them are surrounded by nature, others are situated directly along the road (where it is difficult or impossible to park) or even in town, lost between concrete. Here are four of them, in three different provinces. The most beautiful area is, without hesitation, Caños de Meca, as it is a protected area. And from there, if it is not too foggy, you can see the Rif mountains in Morocco.

Almost Fall

Fall is almost here, and that is good. I love the shorter days, the prospect of getting back to standard time (even if it not the time that corresponds to our meridian), eating chestnuts, taking longer walks without dying of the heat. Finding some chestnut trees on the path from Pampaneira to Bubión (province of Granada, Spain)

Casa Forestal in Alhaurín el Grande

It is summer, it is too hot, but we went back to a place that we love, the "Casa forestal" in Alhaurín el Grande (near Málaga, Spain), and we could chill there a bit (forgetting for a short moment all pictures and reports of destroying, killing, suffering etc. we had seen about Gaza, when there is so little we can do).  Two years ago, a huge forest fire destroyed a lot in this area, but this place has been preserved (the flame stopped just above it). Enjoy! The "Casa Forestal" of Alhaurín el Grande View of the valley from above, near the Casa forestal On the way to the Casa forestal
