One of the best walks of my life was the day I first visited the city of Úbeda, Spain, exactly two years ago today. I think I wrote about those first impressions in this very community, and although time has passed and many things have happened since then, experiencing this place in the world truly changed something within me. I was on tour with the choir I sing in, so we would be visiting many Spanish cities. It was also my first time traveling to another country, and while I can't deny that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, this corner of the world had a special mystique that I haven't found anywhere else.
At first glance, it seemed like a place forgotten by the world. The streets were empty, it was bitterly cold, and many trees were still recovering from winter. The ground was entirely cobblestone, and I think most of the shops were closed at that hour. But the most striking and important thing was the silence, not an uncomfortable silence, but one that conveyed a profound sense of peace. I didn't wait for my wife or my friends; they all had their own priorities, and all I knew was that it was my only afternoon there, and I needed to go for a walk to see as much of the city as possible.
When I went for a walk, the only people I encountered were my own coworkers. Many of them had also gone out to explore and photograph Úbeda that afternoon, but after a greeting, a photo, and a hug, I was still alone. Úbeda was an experience just for me; I decided not to share my walk with anyone, which was a bit risky because I still didn't have cell phone service. But the walk back to the hotel was enough to make me remember it... Oh! I just remembered that since Easter 2024 was approaching, we were separated into two hotels, as 100 people were too many additional tourists for those already staying there.
In the end, I did enjoy the whole experience. After my first solo walk to explore the area, and after spending so much time without any communication with my wife and friends, I decided to head back to the hotel to make sure everything was alright, plus I was getting hungry 😅 Luckily, we didn't have to waste time looking for lunch because I already had my eye on a pizzeria not far from our accommodation. So, I just changed the color of my stripes and went for a short walk with my friends, ostensibly to find lunch. Finally, we went back to the room to get our concert outfits and walk to the venue where we would perform. And, by the way, my wife and I took the longest route...
Just sitting down to write these words makes me relive every second of that afternoon, and although I enjoy every walk, whether here in Caracas or back in Spain, the peace of walking in a city where the noise seems nonexistent was like an unreal experience. These pictures perfectly capture what happened at that moment; there aren't any people in the photos, even though there were many tourists in the city. In fact, that concert that night was a sell-out. It definitely felt like stepping back in time to the Renaissance; the architecture spoke for itself ❤️
its so green and lush there, probably frustrating but sensible to end the walk, dont want him getting upset and chasing you
Thanks for joining the Wednesday walk
Have a great day
Greetings brother! Sorry for the late response, it has been a week of a lot but rewarding work. Yes, the best thing we did was walk away slowly hahaha, the size of that animal is intimidating. Thank you for your appreciation, I send you a hug!...
You went out with your wife early in the morning. This smile of nature makes everyone happy and it is very nice. You have seen many animals there, it's very nice. Good wishes for you.
Thank you very much for your good wishes my friend. Yes, many animals, and despite their faces they seem to be very friendly. Thanks for commenting...
Enjoying the free gift of nature with your beautiful wife is really amazing. It was indeed a complete experience because you had it all with your queen. I love those photos .
Greetings my dear! Yes, that was a dream weekend, but the best thing is having experienced it with my wife. Thank you very much for this kind comment, it is nice to agree with you...
Mis saludos a tu familia.
It was not a good time, when realized there was a buffalo out of fence, 😊. Fortunatelly the buffalo still enjoyed the grass 😊
That's right, I think that herb has saved our lives hahaha, his face was more like: "let me eat in peace" 🤣 Thanks for commenting my friend...
La cara del bufalo es de "¿Que me ves? Saquese de aca" jajajajajaja te arriesgaste acercandote asi, ahora, ¿a que le tenias mas miedo, a la mirada del bufalo o a la de tu esposa? 😂
Que belleza es el campo, se puede respirar mucha paz con tan solo ver estas bellas fotografias ❤️
Las cosas que hago por tomar buenas fotos para un post de Hive me asustan jajajaja, pero me ha dado resultados. Muchas gracias por tu enorme cariño mi amiga, sabes que es igual de aquí para allá...
Nada más maravilloso que caminar al lado de nuestro ser amado y disfrutar de la naturaleza, sacando la cara del búfalo jajaja que se ve algo serio aunque esos animalitos son tranquilos hasta donde yo se 😆
Bueno, tranquilos, pero con esos cuernos mejor ni lo averiguo jajaja. Igual no pasó de verme feo y seguir comiendo mientras me alejaba sutilmente jajaja. Gracias por tu comentario hermano, y disculpa lo tarde...
Hola manito la precaución no está de más jajaja, yo hubiera hecho igual 🤣, desde lejitos más seguro jajaja
Que maravilla de paseo, campo, aire puro, animales... que más se puede pedir. Excelente caminata y ustedes dos geniales!🤗
Muchas gracias Av. Fue una caminata muy divertida, de hecho he tenido varias caminatas en pareja hermosas últimamente, y me siento muy bien ahora, han sido días buenos 🙏🏽
Te dije... lo malo fuera... viene lo bueno!! Para adelante!
