About me

I was born in Granada (southern Spain), city of the Alhambra, on May 19th of 1979. I spent most of my time in this wonderful place, enjoying the city and its cuisine; but also travelling around Spain. In 1997 I started my degree in Geology at the University of Granada, five years later I received my degree. After six month working for a mining company I gave it up and returned to the school for a PhD project. I have just defended my PhD and future is uncertain....
