Green technology in Spain

Since 1980’s in Spain there has been a tremendous development of Renewable Energy. Such as solar panels, wind mills, hydroelectric energy, etc. Despite this development, we still depend on non renewable energies.
Nowadays, the use of green technology has become a very popular topic and has been encouraged by the governing bodies from Europe. Most Spanish cities recycle their waste and government teaches people about green technology goodness.
This green practices and technologies still have to be improved to really compete with nuclear and petrol energies.
In my opinion, green technologies are the future of energy, and it´s necessary to have a better world for our children.

Falling Soldier


The picture is called “falling soldier” (muerte de un miliciano)
I chose this picture because it’s the most famous picture about Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and represents clearly the horrors of the war. Thus, the picture worldwide showed the Spanish conflict.
The picture represents Federico Borell who was nicknamed “El Taino” .He is falling dead in Cerro Muriano (Córdoba) in September 5, of 1936. Federico was a Spanish anarchist who fought in the CNT militia from Alcoi (Alicante) to defend the Spanish Republic against the Spanish Nationalist forces of Francisco Franco.
Federico arrived Cerro Muriano a few hours before with fifty people more to reinforce the militia. That afternoon, some enemy troops infiltrated behind the lines and fired the militia from behind. Then Federico was shot and died.
The picture was taken by Robert Capa, a famous war reporter, and was published in September 23, of 1936 in the French journal “Vu”.

Last Holidays

Last holidays I was in Tavira Island. Tavira is a small village from the south of Portugal which has an island called Tavira too. I went with Zoraida, my girlfriend.
I went by car because it’s not far from Cordoba, it’s only three hours.
I only was one day and I didn't sleep in Tavira's camping but three years ago I did it in summer.
The weather was very fine, warmly and sunny, but the water was very cold.
In Tavira was an Eastern party, where you can play almost every summer sport. But sport is only an excuse to make a very big party with music, mojito and beer. Everybody was laughing, singing and dancing everywhere.
It was very funny. Next year I want to go back and have a whole week of beach party.
