The place and the roots
Algodonales
This is Algodonales, a small village in the south of Spain where my parents are from. I go there often, and it always feels peaceful and familiar. The village is quiet, with not many houses, and most of the people who live there are older. Life moves slowly, and people know and help each other. The white houses, narrow streets, and mountains around it make it very beautiful. For me, Algodonales is important because it connects me to my family and my roots. It’s a place full of memories and stories. Even though it is small, it means a lot to me and to the people who live there.
