February 2024: Monthly update. France, melancholy and the food I ate.

February 2024: Monthly update. France, melancholy and the food I ate.

Hey there! How was your January? I bring you the playlist first because I feel like we already have our own little ritual of listening to the tunes while writing/reading my blog posts. My January has been full of joy for the most part, then it became melancholic again. One can’t always be positive, I guess it’s the ebb and flow of life. Emotions are changing constantly. I don’t force happiness because I love melancholy as much as I do…

February: playlist, new tour and happy thoughts.

February: playlist, new tour and happy thoughts.

It’s February already and I am happy because I’ve just announced a new tour with Escuchando Elefantes     Don’t forget the playlist of the month 🙂   It’s been a while since we’ve toured. A long while. We’re excited and busy. I’ve been incredibly busy during January. That’s a good thing to avoid the winter blues.   But being busy always takes a toll on my body. This week I’ve been feeling the inflammation creeping up, so I am…

The day I didn’t die (one of the many) 5 years after the car crash

The day I didn’t die (one of the many) 5 years after the car crash

Today is the five year anniversary of the car crash that could’ve killed us. I didn’t die. We didn’t die. Although I feel grateful every day (and I prove it by doing a gratitude journal every day) life gets in the way. It’s almost impossible forcing yourself to feel grateful some times. And even though you have things to thank for, the ones that put you down seem heavier. I have a lot of things to be grateful. First and…

A year after the car crash: Fear, Gratitude and What We Ate.

A year after the car crash: Fear, Gratitude and What We Ate.

A year ago I was involved in a car accident. It was very scary mainly for three reasons: 1) It happened in France and I was supposed to arrive in London for our tour the next day. 2) Carlos tried to avoid the car from crashing four times, but the ice made it impossible to stay on the road. 3) The car got out of the road and turned on one side, making it incredibly difficult to get out of…

Tips for the perfect Cheeseboard (New Year’s Eve ideas)

Tips for the perfect Cheeseboard (New Year’s Eve ideas)

I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved eating cheese in New Year. Maybe it’s because we are all cheesaholics in my family, but also because it’s very convenient: you just have to plate them and they are delicious. Tips for the perfect cheeseboard: Choose a blue cheese. I really love blue cheese. Sometimes, if the cheeseboard is big enough I add two or three types of blue cheese. If I had to pick one, I’ll go for a Stilton…

Why I won’t be having gammon for Christmas and why I don’t mind.

Why I won’t be having gammon for Christmas and why I don’t mind.

Since 2012 I’ve been celebrating Christmas apart from my family and friends. Apart from what I considered tradition and apart from typical Spanish Christmas food (which by the way, I took with me every year since then, but you get the point, right?). This year, only a couple of weeks ago, I had a car crash. It has stopped the streak of years celebrating Christmas in Ireland, with all our friends and many more (You can read more here) I…

Tours

Tours

I’ve been travelling to Ireland by car for half a decade now, and I still love it. I think it has something to do with being a musician. I’ve always loved being on the road, staying awake for hours driving, stopping at cities you can’t remember the name of and, of course, eating regional food. Two days ago, one of those cities was Tours, in France. I’ve always wanted to stop there, but never actually did because we were to…
