Perhaps its people, simple, grounded in its roots, with nobility. There are some words that I read somewhere, long ago, he says, approximately: "Whoever enters reluctantly Jaén, Jaén out crying." That says it all. And do not say anything. Because we have to go to Jaen. You need to know your people, you have to walk the streets, we must see the sky ....

I have few photos from there, because it was small when he walked the streets, while playing in their seats, then when I returned to live for three years as a teenager, I also realized what was living. I was more concerned with my friends, to please the guy I liked to sit on the stairs at entrance to the cathedral in the Plaza Santa Maria, my friend Juanita, and eat a meringue, watching people walk seeing my sister Alicia play, running between the fountain that was in the Plaza. There were so many cameras, or mobile .... and also was not aware of what he saw, or that would leave the city later.

I left, yes, family taxation. And I cried, yes, because they left everything. Family, friends, love ...

And life again, I returned to it, three years later, after suffering a bereavement, that changed our lives forever. And there came back to feel protected, Jaén and our family because we tucked. The three years I lived on the street teacher, before coming to Manchester, when I looked out the balcony, the first thing I saw was the cathedral. An overcast day with the fog, another day with snow on their balconies, another day with clouds adorning ... I was looking at her, admiring ... It was fantastic. And everything inside me stirred. How many eyes have admired as I this picture ...? And in my retina were recorded, forever.
After I missed the. And I cried. Here you have some photos. I will continue to go up as finding more photos than I did, and scanning them
