Beautiful Decay
Almost everyone has a kind of fetish object, something that sparks an inexplicable attraction. For me, that happens when I see a caravan, especially if it’s been around for a while and its travels have left a patina (a very elegant way of saying wear and a considerable layer of grime). That’s exactly what happened

The Spanish Wild West
I’ll admit this photograph is incredibly typical, but that doesn’t make it any less valuable. Castildetierra, in the Bardenas Reales, is one of the most photographed landmarks in Spain, and for good reason. This peculiar desert landscape in Navarra transports you straight into the kind of Western films we all carry in our memory, without

Mistreated Cars and Abandoned Tracks
The railway line between Ponferrada and Villablino (known as Ponfeblino) was once one of Spain’s most important freight routes for coal transport, especially during the era marked by World War I and energy scarcity. Today, the line lies abandoned, although there is an approved restoration plan scheduled for launch in August 2026. Honestly, looking at

Burgos and Its Pyramid
In the province of Burgos, on the border with Cantabria and at an altitude of around one thousand meters, stands one of the most unusual structures in the Spanish landscape. Known as “La Pirámide de los Italianos”, this curious monument was built as a mausoleum. It held the ashes of 384 Italian soldiers who died

Cinematic Photography
In 2024, I took a short road trip through the central-northern part of Spain. I made it all the way to the Monegros region and visited several spots I had long been wanting to explore. I took a ton of photos and discovered some absolutely breathtaking landscapes. I have to admit, I was truly surprised

Running Through the Grasses
It had been many years since I last visited Benavente, so since I happened to be relatively nearby, I decided to stop by again and rediscover a city from which I barely retained any memories. After parking the car and wandering through town for a while, I came to the conclusion that, indeed, I didn’t

Aquatic Life
I’ve been an aquarium hobbyist for many years. I still remember my first “aquarium”, and I put that in quotation marks because neither the dimensions were adequate for a real tank, nor was the tiny filter capable of supporting aquatic life with even a shred of dignity. Back then, I didn’t have the slightest idea

Foreign Land
The afternoon I took this photo, I had already driven around six hundred kilometers. I started the morning tracing the northern coast, traveling through the Mariña Lucense. After passing Ribadeo, I entered Asturias on my way to Oviedo, where I immediately took the detour toward Mieres and began ascending into the mountains. At the summit,

In Deep with Photography
I’m a big fan of road trips and generally enjoy them a lot, especially the spontaneous ones that lead me to unknown places. But I must admit, they don’t always fill me with the same enthusiasm. It really depends on my mood and energy level that day. That’s exactly what happened on the day I

A Patchwork of Vineyards
The first time I visited the area around Barco de Valdeorras, I didn’t like it. It struck me as arid, somber, too flat, nothing stood out enough to capture my attention. I left feeling a bit disappointed, with an unpleasant impression and no real desire to return. But not long after, I passed through that
