Andalucía, Spain (2006)



    Andalucía is beautiful and has a long and rich history which is absolutely fascinating. The countryside and outdoors, the towns and cities. An amalgam of styles and cultures, old and new. The people know hard times, but they celebrate life all the more. Here we savoured jerez and tapas at the Feria, lost ourselves in the beauty of the Alhambra, walked the maze of small streets of Sevilla and enjoyed the most wonderful flamenco music and dance.


    I return to the South
    like one always returns to love,
    I return to you ,
    with my longing, with my anxiety.

    I carry the South
    like a destiny of my heart,
    I am from the South
    like the melodies of the bandoneon.

    I love the South,
    its good people, its dignity,
    I feel the South,
    like I feel your body in intimacy.

    (translated excerpt from Piazolla & Solanas, Vuelvo al Sur)
