For the first time in Tenerife, photopillers and night sky photography lovers in the island got together to celebrate Photopills World Meet Up to capture the full moon and the lunar eclipse on Sunday 7th September 2025.

For the first time in Tenerife, we celebrated the International Animal Flow Day with more than 60 countries flowing together around the world. We gathered at Parque de la Granja, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the 30th of August 2025. We practiced a routine designed specially for this day by Mike Fitch, the creator of Animal Flow in the United States. This was a free activity and no previous experience was required.

Just a few Go Pro shots of my recent open water swimming experiences in the Mediterranean. Some say our sea shapes our Mediterranean character. The beautiful mess that makes up of our existence, of our land, of our identity and our beloved way of life bound to a sea that is called home by 22 nations and 3 continents.

Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan ATLAS over the volcano Mount Teide, in Tenerife, Canary Islands. Tsuchinshan (紫金山 Zǐjīn Shān, in Mandarin ) means Purple Mountain, in Chinese. The shots were taken during the comet’s last few days visiting the Earth, when it was most visible right after the sunset, and before it left us for another 80.000 years.

Correfocs (literally meaning Fire Run) is a celebration typical of Catalan Culture and Folklore that involves running the streets of old Catalan villages surrounded by fire and monstrous/mythical figures. This practice dates back to the Middle Ages and it borrows from the tradition of the  'Devil Dances' (Balls del diable), symbolizing the fight between good and evil. However, Correfocs as we know them today are a relatively new practice that took shape in the late 1970s with the death of Dictator Franco and the birth of Democratic Spain. Then, Catalan people finally had the chance to openly embrace their traditions and culture without risking prosecution.

G A L L O P is the result of Laia Palma’s inviting me to spend a couple of hours at her Equestrian Club, Equus Empordà (Spain). During this limited amount of time, I followed Laia around her club while she told me about the values behind the vision of the club she has been growing during the last few years. And how her unique relationship with the horses and other animals inhabiting the place make Equus Empordà a very unique Equestrian Club.
