The tattoist of Auschwitz 

Today I have started reading this book.

I cannot find the reason why the stories that are written about this near and dark moment attract me. Sometimes I think that it´s because in my adolescence I was interned in an institution whose objective was to annul the will of those who passed through that gate, they said, to become an upstanding citizen. Other times I reckon that in the novels that I read – very few - and in the movies that I saw - many more – I was able to understand, as if it were a parallel world, some of the miseries of men.

El Viar

<< ... so I have changed Stromness for El Viar and Kirkwall for Villaverde del Río. My bike rides to Skara Brae and Birsay, I have changed them for the Pedro Espiga farmhouse, and the St Magnus cathedral for the Purísima Concepción church.
