Did I told you I saw a theatre show on Sunday? Noooooooooo...well, let me tell you about it now...the title was EL ECO DE LA SOMBRA (the echo of the shadow) by El Teatro de los sentido , a cool group that works on the five senses to creat sensorial, personal paths that the spectator/observer must walk along, one by one to discover and experience his own route...If you have the chance to see the sow go for it, absolutely worth it!!!! nearly 2 hours fullfilling sensations and poetry...just take care of your shoes when you finish, double check you're taking yours as somebody left with my new havaianas, leaving me an old dirtry pair of bahianas, a cheap imitation, sigh!!!
Hi again! Last week my sister came to see me as she was working in Elche, near Alicante, and we spent some days together. We went shopping with my fiend Maria...I didn't find nothing really interesting, but me and Maria decided to buy ourselves rollerblades to skate around the city...we also bought bats for table tennis so I'll be able to practise as there are tables for playing at the Ciutadela and on the beach...we also went to the Spiritual Cafe, by the Museo Maritim, and had a nice time watching fire juggling performance.
Finally beck in Barcelona, after the Eurohop tour! It was great travelling again around Iberia, having a Sangria in Madrid, walking around in Granada, having a segway tour in Cordoba at 50º degrees as you can see in the picture...Spain and Portugal are amazing countries...people are lovely and food delicious...I had a lot of fun with the new on board guide Rob, who tought me how to play table tennis in Lisbon!

Spain, officially the Kingdom of Spain (Spanish: Reino de España, unofficially in Galician: Reino de España; Catalan: Regne d'Espanya; Basque: Espainiako Erresuma; Occitan: Regne d'Espanha; Asturian: Reinu d'España), is the largest of the three sovereign nations that make up the Iberian Peninsula—the others are Portugal and Andorra—located in Southern Europe.

In the northeast along the Pyrenees, a small exclave town called Llívia in Catalonia is surrounded by French territory.The indigenous peoples of the Iberian peninsula, consisting of a number of separate tribes, are given the generic name of Iberians. This may have included the Basques, as one of the pre-Celtic people. The most important culture of this period is that of the city of Tartessos. Beginning in the 8th century BCE, Celtic tribes entered the Iberian peninsula through the Pyrenees and settled throughout the peninsula, becoming the Celtiberians. The seafaring Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians successively settled along the Mediterranean coast and founded trading colonies there over a period of several centuries.
