Where I was bornI was born April 25th1980, in Las Palmas de

Gran Canarias, in the Canary Islands.

Come back to the continentWhen I was two, my parents and I returned

to Asturias.

AsturiasSmall region in the North. It is quite similar to Switzerland, so it is also

called the “Petite Suisse”…..but we have beaches.

You may know some people from there, such as the Nobel prize winner Severo Ochoa, Fernando Alonso (Formula 1 driver) or David Villa (football player).

We have a very famous dish called “fabada” (avoid it if you are on diet!).

  

GijonThis is the city where I lived for almost 25

years.

Founded by the Romans and was originally

called Gigia.

Local economy is based in the port, steel

factories and services.
