De Cadiz a Normandia is a compilation of some of the travel chronicles (corresponding to Spain, Italy and France) he wrote for El Nuevo Herald from 1995 until 2015. It is a book designed to be enjoyed by all. A walk through the narrow streets of the old town of Seville or the memory of a romantic evening stroll under the bridges of the Seine; the art treasures of the Vatican Museums and the Louvre or the awe inspiring gaze when you see the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Yes, we traveled: to marvel at the great creations of humanity, to get to know other cultures and to find ourselves."
