I have just come back from movies. I saw "The Congress" directed by Ari Folman. I am completely without breath because of this masterpiece. I took some time to recover and now I write a critic for a paper. I have to come back to see it again before it's been removed from screens. Only 3 cinemas in BCN project it. Unfortunately, that's too frequent with art that makes you see and feel deeper.

I'm not the typical guy that cleans his car at least once a week. I'm the typical guy that cleans his car once a year.

Astonishing message in this toilet that makes me think about the art of cooking, if it's really a kind of art. I believe that the culinary piece of art doesn't end here, the path is still long, until it becomes food again.

Andorra has become a kind of Chinese bazar for Russians. Although it is no longer much cheeper than other "taxed" countries, one buys tobacco and alcohol as we were used to do during many years. Andorra has reinvented itself may times and always there is something curious to see, to buy or experience in this tiny land.

Summer strikes again! So let's beach!

2014/08/25

A common day in summer: cleaning apartment, tidying it up, playing with children, cooking, buying a couple of things at the supermarket, eating, telling tales for goodnight, and at the end, a bit of rest! Oh no, I have to prepare a conference for next week, reading Sloterdijk at 9 p.m. but I feel not concentrated, then I watch a movie I got it lately, "Her". Great! Time to sleep really really tired!

I almost do not have addictions. One of my vices since childhood was Pantera Rosa, an industrial cake with six E-something preservatives and tons of sugar and hydrogenated greases. I usually bought Panteras at petrol stations for driving a lot of km with glucose levels up. Now they change the recipe and its taste became awful. What's fine is that I won a PS4 in a contest of eating them, Yeah!

My child is afraid of dark. I gave him reasons no to fear but he didn't let me go from his bed. I think that we call irrational fears is because each one operates with different arguments of logic buy they are irrational, specially, when we are a child.

T-Rex vs Triceratops in a field and flying dart to sleep animals. Children resolve a drawing with a couple of lines, the rest imagination.

In a square meter I have planted dill, mint, basil, courgette, coriander and aloe. That's a great success!

A developed country is that in which you can find in every bathroom a place for your baby needs. In Men's toilet and in women's. In this country you can't. Here I show a paradise, in a Scandinavian shop.

Peruvian Ceviche! Usually the best cuisine of other countries you can find very near, thanks to immigrated people. This egg at the right was not included, it came from my son's dish. Fathers frequently must to finish children's meals.

Title: "Festes de Gracia with a Japanese turist". Every year's summer date for street celebration at Gracia neighborhood. Usually Verdi street wins but I found more interesting this decoration at Perla street.

Today I come back to the city. Just a pity and a great sorrow. A metaphor could be this ruined house in Camprodon. I come back to the civilization but surely wilder.

In Setcases, a village we we spend some journeys, there is a place to climb and take some pictures. It's surprising to find that frame for a postcard: they want to be seen like this!

2014/08/15

We climbed until 2.400 meters to find the spring of Ter river. Someone told me that if you take 9 stones from the glaciar water you will be given the power of that river. So I took them. I do not feel more powerful but cold. Anyway, It's nice to believe in that.

Visiting one of the oldest Abbeys in Catalonia, St. John. What's nice is that the first spiritual guide was a woman, Emma from Barcelona. After some generations of women, they were accused and killed to take their possessions. Always women were in disadvantage!

2014/08/13

At the town of Camprodon one can feel the flavor of the best dried sausages and the typical cookies. A curious mixture of vanilla and meat.

2014/08/12

At the Pyrenees it is still possible to see some wild animals like these fallow deers. That's makes me feel very good and peacefully excited as a part of nature.

2014/08/11

Welcome to the country side. Fresh and dried mushrooms, vegetables and so on. Why they eat so natural, cheap and tasty and we in the city not. Its time to one of my favorite dinner: scramble eggs with black trumpets mushrooms!

2014/08/10

I told millions of times my son not to play with food but in this case, wearing a fajita-mask, I should forgive him.

2014/08/09

Shopping at Minotaur labyrinth, in other words Ikea. You can't get out in less than 30 minutes and without buying something.

2014/08/08

These days it's hard to sleep. Tooo hot!

2014/08/07

Astronomically the Moon never was so close to the Earth than now. I'm preparing myself for the full phase that will be in a couple of days. Watch the vide I made this night at Vimeo.

2014/08/06

Searching for activities for kids in Summer, for instance, decorating cup cakes. If they are not doing something all the time, they drive me mad. Too much energy.

2014/08/05

Today my camera bag was repaired. It was designed and sewed by my wife, a great artist. After seven weeks this project have great expectations in my family.

2014/08/04

One of the meanings of vacation is beach until dusk.

2014/08/03

Swimming day at Banyoles lake.

2014/08/02

We went to Banyoles where our friends live in an ancient house. Peace and relax in their garden: tomatoes, courgettes, hens, horses, and macerating Ratafia liquor with more than 30 different herbs.

2014/08/01

Sea cuisine at home. We have special guests today, the oldest women of my family.
