San Sebastián

Beautiful village by the Cantabric Sea. The streets are filled with interesting structures, buildings, churches, squares, fountains, bridges. You can be amazed at every corner. The sunset from the Castle is simply amazing, a view over the "la Concha" beach bay and the small island is simply breath taking. Have the right company while doing it and it is certainly a trip to remember.
The nearby villages are also nice, Getaria offers a very diverse gastronomy and cultural history, while Zarautz enables you to surf some of the best Cantabric waves. In general this part of the Basc Country is in it's all, a confluence of culture, nature and mysticism.

The gates of Europe

I would say that Europe starts in Portugal and ends in Russia, but it seams that the old continent doors are located in Madrid. In this huge avenue that is Paseo de la Castellana, I look towards the East and cross this European gates.

Gate 15, Destination - Madrid

A new step in life, a new adventure, a new beginning...towards the unknown i go!

Calm day at Lisbon airport. Today i take the TAP flight 706, the destination, Madrid.
My first (and hopefully not last) abroad internship. For a 9 months stay in the Spanish capital, all my hopes go a successful integration in the Spanish culture, to meet new people, to learn new things and off course have lots of fun.

At the gate 15, the adventure begins.

The border

Imagine the sun set in the ocean horizon, try to look over the mountains and believe that there is something marvellous beyond it, simply waiting for you..

"Continuamente vemos novidades,
Diferentes em tudo da esperança;
Do mal ficam as mágoas na lembrança,
E do bem, se algum houve, as saudades."


Luís Vaz de Camões in "Os Lusíadas"


At the portuguese border, towards the east, this is where everything begins...
