My Fifty Birthday
I'm turning 50! Join me for a very special celebration in Ourense from October 3rd to 5th.
¡Cumplo 50! And I want to celebrate it with you!
I turn 50 this year and I've decided to celebrate it the way I like best: surrounded by the people who are part of my life: My family (current and chosen!) and my friends in a very special place for me.
There will be walks, music, Galician food, a few surprises... and, above all, lots of love. I know some of you will be coming from far away—from other parts of Spain, the United States, the Middle East, England, and Ireland—and you can't imagine how excited I am to be able to reunite here and show you my homeland.
Ourense is a welcoming city, with streets steeped in history and hot springs that invite you to stop and enjoy. I'd love for you to explore it with me. It will be an unforgettable birthday... if you're there too!

1975 October 4th
I was born in 1975 in Ourense into a large family (in every sense of the word). With my sister and parents, I enjoyed a happy childhood between Ourense and Barbantes, filled with adventures in the village, friends always at our house, summers in England learning English, camping, movies at my grandmother and Uncle Celso's house, school...
