Jávea + Alicante + Valencia + Barcelona + Ibiza  |  2015 - Present

"I'd spent the day touring the works of Antoni Gaudi and getting lost within the narrow passageways of the Gothic Quarter. I'd spent hours gazing at the intricacies of cathedral architecture and eating Jamon Iberico from paper cups. After a dinner of heavy tapas and tempranillo, I walked aimlessly through the darkened corridors avoiding tourists and stopping only to have conversations in Spanish with the local dogs. I rounded a corner to find an early century cathedral selling last minute tickets to a classical guitar concert. I bought one (I'm no fool) and within thirty minutes was seated in historically uncomfortable catholic pews watching Pedro Javier Gonzalez playing flamenco and classical Spanish guitar. By the second song I was wiping tears from my eyes, as were many around me. For the second time in so many days my very existence had been shattered."
