JP Not found




In the beach of a small northern Sicilian village a fisherman found a backpack floating on the sea. Finally it was identificated as the one of Joe Puertollano. However, we have not news from him, which minds that he has sank down in the Adriatic o Tirrenan sea, or just lost his pack in his way swiming back home. Dispite this, we hope to see him soon somewhere in the spanish coast or, in case he has lost his path, in any other beach around the globe. Good luck Joe.

Last stop: Greece











Difficult to get out from Makedonia by plane or by sea. Only by train or bus. So I went down to Thessaloniki and then to Athens. But a bad surprise was waiting for me there. Bank debit card did not worked anymore and I ran out all my cash so, not enough to buy a ticket back home,what to do? I took a short walk around the city - beautiful and strong forever - Acropolis, Plaka...and then I decided it.....

Vigorsky's Monastery





























Hanging above the cliffs of Mobro Mountanis, stands Vigorsky Monastery. Very old and still working. Its frescos are insuperables and it's wooden retablo contains more than 20.000 small figures carved with love. A masterpiece in a wild enviroment.
An having one of the most pure water I have tried in my life. Directly from a mountain spring of an ancient glacial era.

Guthember's galaxy











There are only three printing machine left still working of Guthemberg's time. And one of them is in Ohrid. This printing machine was sent from Germany to Ancient Makedonia by 1500 to print ortodoxian Bibles. And is still there. I dressep up like him and bought a couple of pictures made from oak bark as they were printed by that time. Amazing

Ohrid











¡Oh-Jrid! -exclaimed travellers seeing the beauty of this place. A glacial lake sarrounded by green and thick forest and hills. Cold and transparent water. God for swiming. Fortress, churches, a lot, and small fishermen villlages.

Gipsy city











No land people. Unique. Nomadics, free, with their own culture dating more than 2000 years. Gipsies (from the word>> egyptians>>giptians >>gipsies) came to europe and settled down. In Skopje lives the biggest comunity in Eurpe and probably in the world. It is Sutka, a 100.000 gipsies suburbs, a entire small city, with market, bars, shops, houses. Nice people.. Very integrated in the makedonian society. I took a wak in throughout.
