Expert in intercultural tourism and communication, teacher of Spanish applied to tourism. I am Spanish, born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Canary Islands.
I have always loved travelling, meeting people from different countries, discovering new cultures. This great passion prompted me to study International Tourism and I have been working in this wonderful sector for about 30 years.
I have lived in Sardinia for 24 years, another island that has welcomed me, where marriage, a son and work marked my future. But a part of my heart has never stopped looking west to my Canary Islands. And now, combining passion and profession, I have become the entrepreneur of the project of my life: “Islas del Mar Project”.
Whose objectives are promoted by the EURINSULA association, which I founded and presides over.
I feel like a European islander: the Atlantic and the Mediterranean flow in my veins.
To make sense of this separation of island identity, divided between different islands and seas, the Canary Islands and Sardinia, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, I designed my project, which summarizes my personal and professional life. And mending this rift, I found a big house, the identity of a European islander.
This has given a new meaning to my life:
To unite my heart, to unite what the sea separates and to be able to transform this obstacle into an immense and wonderful opportunity for cultural exchange for me and for anyone who wants to share this with me exciting adventure.
The islands are my home, my school of life...
Islas del Mar Project aims to unite island diversities, culture, history, archeology and traditions of the islands, to transform them into models of discovery, learning, discussion , from which arises a real intercultural exchange. This also leads to individual enrichment, because the discovery of the other offers the opportunity to get to know ourselves better, promoting our emotional well-being.
Before promoting the territory, however, it is necessary to know it, respect it, love it: in other words, value it. Only then can tourism, a key factor, create truly intercultural exchanges.
