For a conversation with friends there is nothing better than getting lost in the Gothic quarter, Born or Barceloneta and sitting in any of those small squares full of history (plaça Vicenç Martorell, plaça Sant Felip Neri, plaça de la Barceloneta)... And if you still need more tranquillity, there is a fascinating area of peace called Cathedral of Santa María del Mar. It is the best anti-stress refuge I know of in our city...if you manage to avoid weekends and your cell phone, of course.
Apart from my family and all the people I love, my greatest passions in life have always been photography, cinema, traveling the world and, of course, music, especially rock in all its variants. Yes, I saw Nirvana in Barcelona!
Beyond the simple process of transmitting a language, what continues to fascinate me most about this profession is being able to instil enthusiasm and motivation to continue learning the language. In this sense, I will always be eternally grateful to all the students for everything I have enjoyed and learned from them.
