Walk to Charco Azul

A few months ago I was in the Charco Azul, a place that I had heard of, but had never visited. It was a family visit, since we were my two sisters, the oldest and the youngest, and my son. 

El Charco Azul is near the Risco, a town that belongs to the municipality of Agaete and you will meet him on the way to the village of the village of San Nicolás. 

We arrive at Risco before eleven in the morning. The day accompanied because it was sunny, there was no wind and the temperature was about twenty degrees. Perfect for a walk without complications and very easy to do, although, with rainy weather, you have to be cautious and leave it for another day because when it rains, those ravines have a lot of strength and can be dangerous.

We crossed the Risco neighborhood and, following the directions of the friendly neighbors and the signs, we arrived at the path that would lead us to our destination. The first thing that surprised us was the green of the vegetation and the flowering of some plants and it is that our land is grateful; I remembered that last November it rained with enthusiasm in Gran Canaria and its result was the explosion of nature that we were attending.

When we arrived at the base of the ravine we already began to hear the sound of the water and we could see the streams of crystalline water that ran down the ravine as a result of past rains.

We continued climbing up the ravine, following the path and with our destination always in sight, because we had it located, in the form of a white cliff that could be seen in the background. 

Halfway we sat down to enjoy the sound of the water running through the streams, which is not very common in our islands, and the song of the birds, especially the song of the Canario del Monte which was wonderful.

Then we continued, always accompanied by the small streams of crystalline water, then we passed the most difficult area and, finally, we arrived at the Charco Azul which was at the base of a large cliff called Tamadaba.

The Blue Pond was full and overflowing because water kept falling from the peaks. We were thinking of taking a bath, but we touched the water and it was very cold, so we let it be. We stayed there for a while to recharge our batteries, drink water, eat some nuts and enjoy the incredible scenery that nature offered us.

When we finished enjoying the prize for our morning walk, we decided to return and continue our way to the village of San Nicolás

Dormir

Fuente propia

Todos los días llegaba a la misma hora. Esperaba a que abriera la puerta a las cinco de la tarde. Saludaba don Ambrosio, el cura, metía el dedo índice en la pila bautismal, mojaba un poco el dedo, se hacía una cruz en el centro de la frente y sentía como el agua bendita le limpiaba el alma. Luego se sentaba en el banco que estaba en la quinta fila, a la izquierda del altar mayor.
Allí se quedaba en silencio, cerraba los ojos y se dormía. Era el único sitio donde podía dormir a pierna suelta. A las siete lo despertaban los murmullos de los feligreses que entraban a la misa de las siete. Entonces se levantaba, se acercaba al altar mayor, se arrodillaba y se marchaba por el pasillo central de la iglesia de su barrio.
Ya en la calle paseaba por la calle mayor hasta que comenzaba a oscurecer. Luego se dirigía hacia la biblioteca central de su ciudad, cogía el libro que estaba leyendo, subía a la última planta, buscaba algún rincón libre, se sentaba y ahí se quedaba leyendo hasta que el sueño lo vencía. Su cuerpo se había acostumbrado a dormir en aquella posición un tanto incómoda, pero tenía que pagar ese precio porque nunca le gustó dormir en la calle.
Se despertaba a las cinco de la mañana, iba al baño, se lavaba la cara y volvía a su sitio a seguir leyendo, hasta que, a las siete y media, salía a ponerse en la fila del comedor social para tomarse un desayuno caliente.
Luego volvía a deambular por las calles hasta que llegara la hora de comer e iba al otro comedor social, el que estaba cerca de la playa. Allí le permitían comer dos platos, darse una ducha y lavar su ropa.
Al atardecer volvía a la iglesia con algo de esperanza en los bolsillos, que era lo único que le quedaba.

What have I seen on Netflix? Rome of Alfonso Cuarón

OPINION

Today I finished seeing Alfonso Cuarón's Rome in Netflix and the truth is that when I began to see it I didn't have much hope that I would like it, but as the film progressed, it ended up conquering me, not only the story of the two women, the domestic worker and her boss, but also the way Cuarón tells us a common story, but with a depth that leaves you stunned.

Then the black-and-white filming, which takes you, from the first minute, to get in line with what the director wants to tell you, the sequence shots that are perfect, photography is not left behind and the masterful use of cinematographic space.

Then there's what Cuarón tells us behind the scenes, part of the political and social history of Mexico in the 1970s that brings us a little closer to understanding Mexico today.

In short, a film not to be missed, see it with tranquility and enjoy all its art, which has it and a lot.

¿Qué he visto en Netflix? Polar

Fuente

OPINIÓN

El pasado domingo vi Polar en Netflix que está basada en la novela gráfica de Víctor Santos, que tuvo mucho éxito y que se ha llevado a la pantalla para intentar emular el éxito del comic. 
La película es trepidante de principio a fin, con una trama principal sin recovecos, que no te dejará respirar hasta el final, con mucha sangre y mucha violencia. Me recordó a las películas de Tarantino, pero Polar va un pasito más allá. No digo más.
Ya dije que lo más destacado de esta película es el ritmo, pero también lo es la fotografía, como si hubieran querido trasladar el cómic a la pantalla y cierto que lo han conseguido.
La parte más débil, desde mi punto de vista, es el guion porque es muy previsible y sabes, a grandes rasgos, qué ocurrirá en el filme, pero esta circunstancia no le resta interés y te aseguro que te pasarás los 118 minutos que dura la cinta con los ojos pegados a la pantalla.
Polar no es una película que pasará a la historia, eso está claro, pero si es una película entretenida para los amantes del cine de estilo Tarantino.

Vinegar flower

With the winter already in my house, although for the time that makes in my land anyone would say it, the nature surprises us in any corner with its wonders.

As you know, I don't miss the opportunity to activate the camera of my mobile phone when I see a flower to immortalize it. Today I stopped at a simple flower, because in its simplicity is beauty. Monochrome flowers, but with a preciousness worthy to be photographed,

In this opportunity I refer to the vinegar (Oxalis) that come out in the pots of my garden and have decided to throw flowers. In this occasion their flowers are of a beautiful pink color, although other times I have seen them white and yellow.

What have I seen on Netflix? Sick Note

OPINION

A few days ago I saw the first season of sick leave on Netflix. A first season that you can see in an afternoon because there are only six chapters and each one has an average duration of 23 minutes, minus the first that lasts 45.

The truth is that the series lets itself be loved and has such a frantic rhythm that you can't stop watching it until you reach the final chapter.

Another aspect that I liked about the series was its eccentric, humorous and irreverent approach, with that point of madness that Don Johnson puts, who plays Kenny West, who is the boss of the protagonist Daniel Glass, who plays the famous protagonist of Harry Potter, Rupert Grint.

A series that will undoubtedly bring you a smile and make you spend an entertaining day with the messes of Daniel Glass and the clumsy Dr. Ian Glennis.

Shortly I will begin with the second season that is already in Netflix.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET.

Produced by: King Bert for Sky One.
